(canceled)
A system for storing information relating to acoustic feedback events, comprising:
- a hearing device having an acoustic feedback canceller;
- a monitoring device including a processor programmed to monitor performance of the acoustic feedback canceller of the hearing device, including tracking information about acoustic feedback events over an interval of use of the hearing device in different acoustic environments experienced by a wearer of the hearing device, wherein the tracking is activated upon occurrence of a programmable event;
- and
- a network-accessible data storage configured to store the tracked information, including storing an indication of a magnitude of severity of a feedback event of the acoustic feedback events, wherein the tracked information is accessible for analysis to determine aspects of the acoustic feedback experienced by the hearing device over the interval of use.

A method, comprising:
- monitoring performance of a hearing device using a monitoring device, including tracking information about acoustic feedback events over an interval of use of the hearing device in different acoustic environments experienced by a wearer of the hearing device, wherein the tracking is activated upon occurrence of a programmable event;
- and
- storing the tracked information in a network-accessible data storage in communication with the monitoring device, including storing an indication of a magnitude of severity of a feedback event of the acoustic feedback events, wherein the tracked information is accessible for analysis to determine aspects of the acoustic feedback experienced by the hearing device over the interval of use.
