Abstract

A system of signal processing an input signal in a hearing aid to avoid entrainment, the hearing aid including a receiver and a microphone, the method comprising using a transform domain adaptive filter including two or more eigenvalues to measure an acoustic feedback path from the receiver to the microphone, analyzing a measure of eigenvalue spread against a predetermined threshold for indication of entrainment of the transform domain adaptive feedback cancellation filter, and upon indication of entrainment of the transform domain adaptive feedback cancellation filter, modulating the adaptation of the transform domain adaptive feedback cancellation filter.
