Summary:PCT No. PCT/DK93/00332 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 13, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 13, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 8, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/09604 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 28, 1994A hearing aid with digital, electronic compensation for acoustic feedback comprises a microphone (5), a preamplifier (7), a digital compensation circuit (3), an output amplifier (9) and a transducer (11). The digital circuit (3) comprises a noise generator (33) for the insertion of noise, and an adjustable, digital filter (27) for the adaptation of the feedback signal. The adaptation takes place using a correlation circuit (31). The circuit further comprises a digital circuit (210) which monitors the loop gain and regulates the hearing aid amplification via a digital summing circuit (211), so that the loop gain is less than a constant K. The circuit further comprises a digital circuit (79) which carries out a statistical evaluation of the filter coefficients in the correlation circuit, and changes the feedback function in accordance with this evaluation.
