The invention relates to a method for providing hearing assistance to a user, comprising: capturing input audio signals by a microphone arrangement (42); estimating a speech level of the input audio signals and an ambient noise level of the input audio signals; applying a gain model to the input audio signals in order to transform the input audio signals into filtered audio signals, wherein, for a each ambient noise level, the gain varies as a function of the speech level and wherein the function varies according the ambient noise level in such a manner that the ratio of the gain at low speech levels and at high speech levels changes as a function of the ambient noise level; transmitting the filtered audio signals by a transmission unit (10) via a wireless audio link (34) to a receiver unit (14, 36, 38) comprising or being connected to means (18, 26) for stimulating the hearing of a user, the stimulating means being worn at or in the user's ear; and stimulating the user's hearing by the stimulating means according to the audio signals supplied by the receiver unit. |
