Automatic gain control in a hearing aid is effected by detecting an input sound level and/or an output sound level and adapting the output sound level supplied by the hearing aid in response to the detected sound level by controlling the gain of the hearing aid towards an actual desired value of the output sound level. The gain control is effected at increases and decreases, respectively, of the input sound level by adjusting the gain towards the actual desired value with an attack time and a release time, respectively, which are adjusted in response to the detected sound level to a relatively short duration providing fast gain adjustment at high input and/or output sound levels and to a relatively long duration providing slow gain adjustment at low input and/or output sound levels. |
