Abstract

The present subject matter can improve robustness of performance of acoustic feedback cancellation in the presence of strong acoustic disturbances. In various embodiments, an optimization criterion determined to enhance robustness of an adaptive feedback canceller in an audio device against disturbances in an incoming audio signal can be applied such that the adaptive feedback controller remains in a converged state in response to presence of the disturbances.

Description

technical field [0001] This document relates generally to audio systems, and more specifically to acoustic amplification devices with robust acoustic feedback cancellation. Background technique [0002] Hearing devices provide sound to the wearer. Some examples of hearing devices include headsets, hearing aids, speakers, cochlear implants, bone conduction devices, and personal listening devices. Hearing aids provide acoustic amplification to compensate for hearing loss by transmitting amplified sound into the wearer's ear canal. In various examples, a hearing aid is worn in and / or around a wearer's ear. [0003] Devices that perform acoustic amplification suffer from acoustic feedback and require acoustic feedback cancellation to achieve higher gain headroom. However, traditional adaptive feedback cancellation algorithms suffer from the appearance of noise and outliers, mainly caused by sudden changes in signal statistics or strong deviations from the normal distribution ...
