Abstract
AbstractWhen designing closed-loop electro-acoustic systems, which can commonly be found in hearing aids or public address systems, the most challenging task is canceling and/or suppressing the feedback caused by the acoustic coupling of the transducers of such systems. In many applications, feedback cancelation based on adaptive filters is used for this purpose. However, due to computational complexity such a feedback canceler is often limited in the length of the filter’s impulse response. Consequently, a residual feedback, which is still audible and may lead to system instability, remains in most cases. In this work, we present enhancements for model-based postfilters based on a priori knowledge of the feedback path which can be used cooperatively with the adaptive filter-based feedback cancelation system to suppress residual feedback and improve the overall feedback reduction capability. For this, we adapted an existing reverberation model such that our model additionally considers the presence and the performance of the adaptive filter. We tested the effectiveness of our approach by means of both objective and subjective evaluations.
