Abstract
A hearing system includes a hearing instrument and a method for operating the hearing instrument. Therein, a sound signal is captured from an environment of the hearing instrument. The captured sound signal is analyzed to recognize own-voice intervals, in which the user speaks. The captured sound signal is analyzed, during recognized own-voice intervals, to determine a rate of speech of the user. The captured sound signal is processed in dependence of a set of signal processing parameters, and the processed sound signal is output to a user of the hearing instrument. The set of signal processing parameters is adapted if the determined rate of speech falls below a threshold.
