Abstract: A system and method for use in a real time system and for processing a signal with a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The system comprises a model for modeling an expected signal and a filter that uses the model for filtering the signal. The filter is used for generating a prediction of the signal and an error variance matrix. The system further comprises an adaptive element for modifying the error variance matrix such that the bandwidth of the filter is widened, wherein the filter behaves like an adaptive filter.

Abstract: The invention provides a cochlear response audiometer, and new methods for signal generation, detection and processing. The invention preferably uses bone conducted sound, applied to the mastoid, forehead, or any other place with good mechanical contact to the skull, via a vibrator. The bone conducted sound stimulates the cochlea via the skull. The stimulus also produces a sound in the ear canal, but at a very low level, so there is no high level stimulus signal and ringing travelling toward the cochlea at the same time as the cochlear response is travelling back into the ear canal. The responses from the cochlea are recorded, preferably by using a differential amplifier input circuit for the microphone when air-borne response signals are used, and the responses are processed in a way which compensates for the stimulus artefact, by subtracting a scaled-down version of the cochlear response to a large stimulus from the cochlear response to a moderate stimulus.
