  • Publication number: 20240298121
    Abstract: An audio input signal is digitized via circuitry of an ear-wearable device. An adaptive feedback canceller has an adaptive filter producing an output that is inserted into the digitized audio input signal to cancel feedback. A motion detector provides a motion signal indicative of motion of the car-wearable device. A processor is operable to determine a change in a feedback path based on the motion signal. The processor causes the adaptive filter to have faster adaption in response to the change in the feedback path is above a first threshold. The processor also causes the adaptive filter to have slower adaption in response to the change in the feedback path being below a second threshold.
