  • Publication number: 20230262401
    Abstract: A hearing device adapted for use by a wearer comprises an audio streaming circuit configured to receive electromagnetic audio streaming via a first communication link. A configuration circuit is configured to receive configuration parameters via a second communication link different from the first communication link for configuring the hearing device to receive the electromagnetic audio streaming. Control circuitry of the hearing device configures the hearing device to enable reception of the electromagnetic audio streaming in accordance with the received configuration parameters.

  • Patent number: 11140499
    Abstract: A system and method of determining a filter to cancel feedback signals from input signals in a hearing assistance device includes determining feedback signals for a plurality of feedback paths associated with the device, and determining a model of the plurality of feedback paths, with the model having an invariant portion and a time varying portion. A probable structure of the invariant portion is determined to generate a structural constraint to constrain the plurality of feedback paths, and probability distributions to impose the structural constraint on the invariant portion are determined. During an iterative process, the invariant portion is iteratively determined using the determined probability distributions and the feedback path measurements.
