Method to reduce feed-back in hearing aids

摘要

Disclosed is a method of reducing feedback in a hearing aid system comprising left and right hearing aids, each hearing aid being adapted to be worn by a user and for communicating with each other, the method comprising the step of: receiving an audio input signal in an input transducer in the hearing aid; wherein the method further comprises the steps of: transforming the input signal into the frequency domain; dividing the audio signal into a plurality of frequency bands; determining a threshold frequency over which a plurality of upper frequency bands lies; multiplying each of the plurality of upper frequency bands by a random phase, thereby obtaining a plurality of phase randomized upper frequency bands; synthesizing the plurality of phase randomized upper frequency bands and the lower frequency bands to an output signal; transforming the output signal into the time-domain; and transmitting the output signal to an output transducer of the hearing aid, wherein the same random phase is changed by the same amount in the left and the right hearing aids for each upper frequency band. A hearing aid system comprising left and right hearing aids adapted to communicate with each other is further more disclosed.
