  • Patent number: 9338562
    Abstract: A listening device includes an input transducer, an output transducer, a signal processor, and a feedback cancellation system for estimating acoustic feedback. The feedback cancellation system includes an adaptive FBC filter arranged in parallel to the forward path, an adaptive whitening filter, and a howl detection unit that performs howl detection based on an output of the adaptive whitening filter. The adaptive FBC filter includes a variable FBC filter part and an FBC update algorithm part for updating the variable FBC filter part, the FBC update algorithm part receiving first and second FBC algorithm input signals influenced by the electrical input and the electrical output signals. Further, the feedback cancellation system receives an electrical update signal essentially consisting of the direct part of the electrical input signal and coefficients of the adaptive whitening filter are based on the electrical update signal.

  • Patent number: 8923540
    Abstract: A hearing aid system may include an ear-mould for a child, an output transducer, and an electrical feedback path. A forward path includes a signal processor that modifies an electrical input signal to a specific hearing profile over a predefined frequency range which includes a number of frequency bands. Maximum forward gain values IGmax for each band are stored in a memory, restricting loop gain to a predetermined value in each band. The hearing aid system further includes a relatively slow online feedback manager unit configured to, with a predefined update frequency, identify current feedback gain in each frequency band, and to subsequently adapt the maximum forward gain values IGmax in each of the frequency bands in accordance with a predefined scheme. The feedback manager unit is thus reduces the risk of howling by decreasing the maximum forward gain values IGmax in said ear-mould for a child.
