ABSTRACT:
A signal processing circuit for hearing aids includes a broadband peak detector for generating a control voltage based upon the sound pressure level of an incoming acoustical signal over its entire frequency spectrum. The control signal is used to determine the cut-off frequency of a voltage controlled adaptive high-pass filter. An amplified electrical signal, corresponding to the acoustical signal, also is provided to the high-pass filter. In setting the cut-off frequency, the control voltage causes the high-pass filter to selectively suppress the low frequency portion of the signal, generating a modified signal in which the noise component is reduced.
