1. A hearing device, comprising:
at least one microphone configured to capture sound signals within an overall frequency range and to convert the captured sound signals into an input signal;
a signal processor for processing the input signal within a lower frequency range being part of the overall frequency range;
a detector for detecting noise having frequency components both within the lower frequency range and outside of the lower frequency range, namely a frequency component in an upper frequency range above the lower frequency range;
said detector detecting the noise based on the frequency component of the noise in the upper frequency range.
