Abstract

For reducing wind noise effects at a hearing device the output of an acoustical to electrical arrangement (3) of the hearing device is operationally connected to a high-pass filter arrangement (5) having a control input (C5) for the high-pass corner frequency (fc). The output of the high-pass filter unit (5) is operationally connected on one hand to a processor unit (PR) which fulfills transfer characteristic tailoring according to the needs of an individual. The output of the processor unit (PR) is operationally connected to an output electrical to mechanical converter arrangement (7). On the other hand the output of the filter unit (5) is operationally connected to a statistic-forming unit (9) which thus acts as a low-pass type unit. The output of the statistic-forming unit (9) is operationally connected to the control input of the filter unit (5).
