Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Reduktion von Rückkopplungen in einem Hörhilfegerät sowie eine entsprechende Vorrichtung. Bei dem Verfahren wird eine erste Übertragungsfunktion für einen ersten Abschnitt einer Signalantwort geschätzt, die einen Rückkopplungspfad umfasst. Eine Energie eines Rückkopplungssignals einer zweiten Übertragungsfunktion des Rückkopplungspfades wird für einen zweiten Abschnitt der Signalantwort geschätzt und ein Parameter der Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung und/oder der Rückkopplungsunterdrückungseinheit wird in Abhängigkeit von der geschätzten Energie eingestellt.

The invention relates to a method for reducing feedback in a hearing aid device and to a corresponding device. The method estimates a first transfer function for a first portion of a signal response that includes a feedback path. An energy of a feedback signal of a second transfer function of the feedback path is estimated for a second portion of the signal response and a parameter of the signal processing means and / or the feedback suppression unit is adjusted in dependence on the estimated energy.
