Abstract: The invention relates to alistening device for processingan input sound to an output sound. The invention further relates to a method and use. The object of the present invention is to minimize or avoid build-up of howl in a listening device. The problem is solved in that the listening device comprises an input transducer (1) for convertingan input sound to an electric input signal(11), an output transducer (2) for converting a processed electric output signal to an output sound, a forward path being defined between the input transducer and the output transducer and comprising a signal processing unit (3) for processing an input signal in a number of frequency bands and an SBS unit (4) for performing spectral band substitution from one frequency band to another and providing an SBS-processed output signal(41), andan LG-estimator unit (5) for estimating loop gain in each frequency band thereby identifying plus- bands having an estimated loop gain according toa plus-criterionand minus-bands having an estimated loop gain according toa minus- criterion,wherein -based on an input (51) from the LG-estimator unit -the SBS unit is adapted for substituting spectral content in a receiver band of the input signal with spectral content froma donor band in such a way that spectral content of the donor band is copied and possibly scaled with a scaling function and inserted in the receiver band instead of its original spectral content, wherein the receiver band is a plus-band and the donor band is a minus-band. This has the advantage of providing an alternative scheme for suppressing howl. The invention may e.g. be used for portable communication devices prone to acoustic feedback problems, e.g. in the ear (ITE) type hearing instruments.
