Abstract: A hearing aid is disclosed. The hearing aid comprises a microphone adapted to receive sound signals, an amplifier configured to amplify signals received by the microphone and output means (e.g. a receiver). The hearing aid is configured to detect if speech is received by the microphone and the hearing aid is configured to provide amplification of the detected sound signals according to a non-speech mode when no speech is detected. The hearing aid is configured to provide amplification of the detected sound signals according to a speech mode when speech is detected. The amplification carried out according to the non-speech mode is different from the amplification carried out according to the speech mode. The invention also discloses a method for amplifying sound signals received by a microphone in a hearing aid.
