The invention provides a lighting device for determining and conveying an intelligibility of an audio signal, wherein the audio signal comprises a plurality of occurrences of a repeating audio feature, wherein each occurrence of the repeating audio feature comprises a respective value of an acoustic characteristic, wherein the lighting device comprises: a light source; a microphone for detecting the audio signal; a processor configured to: receive the audio signal from the microphone, determine a baseline value based on said audio signal, determine a positive intelligibility of the audio signal if the last occurrence of the repeating audio feature comprises a respective value of the acoustic characteristic being at least equal to the baseline value, or determine a negative intelligibility of the audio signal if the last occurrence of the repeating audio feature comprises a respective value of the acoustic characteristic being less than the baseline value, and control the light source to convey the determined positive and/or negative intelligibility of the audio signal via a lighting characteristic.
