Abstract

A system and/or method is provided for enhanced listening of audio signals acquired via a telecoil by performing hum filtering. The system may include a telecoil and a telecoil hum filter. The telecoil hum filter may include a comb notch filter. The comb notch filter may include a delay module and a comb notch filter summing module. The telecoil may be operable to receive a magnetic signal and convert the magnetic signal to an input audio signal. The delay module of the comb notch filter may be configured to generate a delayed signal by applying a delay to the input audio signal. The delay may be based on a fundamental hum frequency. The comb notch filter summing module may be configured to generate a comb notch filter output signal by adding the input audio signal and the delay signal.
