Abstract: There is disclosed a sound processing device (300) configured to apply a frequency shift to at least one frequency component of a received sound signal and to amplify at least part of the received sound signal. The processing device (300) is also adapted to generate an estimated feedback signal for combination with the received sound signal via a phase inverting feedback canceller (314). Associated methods (400, 600) of processing a sound signal are also disclosed.

Abstract: There is disclosed, in one aspect, a signal processing device (100) including: processing means (108) for generating a spectral representation of an input sound signal; frequency transposition means (110) for transposing at least part of the input signal's spectral representation to a transposed output frequency, said frequency transposition means (110) being configured to process the portion of the input signal spectral representation such that a phase relationship that existed in the input signal's spectral representation is substantially maintained in the transposed portion of the spectral representation; and synthesis means (112) for generating an output signal including the transposed portion of the input signal. Associated methods of processing a received sound signal are also disclosed.
