Abstract: A method of adjusting frequency-dependent amplification in an audio amplification apparatus. The audio amplification apparatus includes a forward transfer path (2) connectable to an output transducer, the forward transfer path including a frequency transposing element. The method includes the steps of: presenting stimuli to the output transducer at a plurality of frequencies; adjusting the stimulus level (C) at each frequency to meet a predefined loudness perception level or detection threshold of the listener; deriving an equal loudness contour of output transducer levels from the adjusted stimuli levels; and deriving the frequency-dependent amplification of levels of input signals (I) at each frequency.

Abstract: A method of processing a sound signal in an audio amplification device using frequency transposition, the method including the steps of: (a) receiving (11) an input sound signal, (b) determining (19) gains for amplifying the input sound signal at a plurality of input frequencies, (c) transposing (20) one or more of the input frequencies of the amplified sound signal to generate one or more output signals at transposed frequencies, (d) determining (31-33) the presence of an undesired feedback signal component resulting from the amplification and frequency transposition of the input sound signal at the input frequencies, and (e) correcting (34) the output signal at each of the transposed frequencies to compensate for the presence of the undesired feedback signal component.
