Abstract
A method including obtaining data based on a current and/or anticipated future state of a hearing prosthesis and adjusting a set gain margin of the hearing prosthesis based on the current or anticipated future state of the hearing prosthesis.
Claims26
A hearing prosthesis, comprising:
- a microphone;
- and
- a sound processor, wherein
- the hearing prosthesis is configured to capture sound with the microphone, process the captured sound with the sound processor and evoke a hearing percept in a recipient of the hearing prosthesis at a plurality of frequencies while automatically managing feedback, and
- the hearing prosthesis is configured to automatically manage the feedback by automatically temporarily adjusting a gain for at least one frequency of the plurality of frequencies while adjusting a gain of at least one other frequency of the plurality of frequencies by a different amount or not adjusting the gain of the at least one other frequency.
2 more elements
A device, comprising:
- a hearing prosthesis configured to capture sound and evoke a hearing percept based on the captured sound while managing feedback, wherein
- the hearing prosthesis is configured to manage feedback by setting a gain margin based on data relating to feedback influence.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining feedback data indicative of a changed feedback path of a hearing prosthesis used by a recipient;
- and
- adjusting a parameter of the hearing prosthesis based on the obtained feedback data, wherein the parameter adjusted is gain associated with specific frequencies, and the gain is adjusted on a frequency-based manner.
