Abstract
A method for operating a hearing device by applying a frequency transposition scheme to an input signal of the hearing device comprising an input transducer, a signal processing unit and an output transducer, the method comprising the steps of transforming the input signal from time domain into frequency domain by applying a transformation function in order to obtain an input spectrum having a frequency range comprising a source region () and a destination region (), adaptively selecting signal components of the source region () taking into account momentary characteristics of the input signal, transposing the selected signal components to the destination region (), and supplying the output spectrum or a transformation thereof to the output transducer, the output spectrum comprising signal components of the destination region ().
