Method for operating a hearing apparatus with amplified feedback compensation and hearing apparatus

Abstract

The goal is to make insertion of a hearing apparatus in an ear more comfortable, in particular with respect to feedback whistling. A method for operating a hearing apparatus by amplifying an input sound to form an output sound and compensating by a predefined amount for feedback caused by the output sound is therefore provided. In a predetermined period after switching on the hearing apparatus, the amount of feedback compensation is automatically increased by an offset greater than zero compared with the predefined amount. By way of example, amplified feedback, which is caused by a hand when inserting the hearing apparatus or hearing aid into the ear, can be better compensated thereby. Feedback whistling when inserting a hearing aid for example can thus be avoided.
