Abstract: A method for noise suppression in a hearing instrument includes using an acousto-electric input transducer of the hearing instrument to generate an input signal from ambient sound. A frequency-band-wise noise suppression is applied to a processing signal derived from the input signal. Stationary noise is detected in the respective frequency band, and depending on the detected stationary noise, an amplification factor of the processing signal is set for the relevant frequency band. An analysis adapted to detect stationary and non-stationary noise is applied to the processing signal. The analysis has a lower frequency resolution than the frequency-band-wise noise suppression and, upon detected presence of stationary and/or non-stationary noise in the analysis of the processing signal, the stationary noise in the frequency-band-wise noise suppression is presumed to be detected in each frequency band, and the corresponding amplification factors are set.
