Abstract
A hearing device includes an input transducer positionable at an ear of a user for converting an acoustic input to the hearing device into an input signal, and a filter providing a source signal based on a source band of the input signal and for providing a target signal based on a target band of the input signal. The source band contains lower frequencies than the target band. A modulation envelope processor processes the source signal to generate a modulation envelope signal. A signal combiner combines the modulation envelope signal with the target signal from the target band, generating a target output signal. The hearing device may also include a signal processor for processing at least the target output signal and providing a processed output signal, and an output transducer for converting the processed output signal into an acoustic output to be provided to the ear of the user.
