Abstract
A method of processing audio signals for an auditory prosthesis is provided. The method includes a noise reduction step (22) and a later compression step (24). A gain control step is provided prior to the compression step (24). The gain control step operates so as to minimize the occurrence of signal compression in the compression step (24). An auditory prosthesis arranged to provide the method is also provided.
