摘要： A hearing aid includes an input unit, an output unit, a signal processing unit connected to the input unit and output unit, where the input unit, the signal processing unit and the output unit form part of a forward path of the hearing aid, where the signal processing unit is configured to apply a forward gain to the at least one electric input signal or a signal originating therefrom. The hearing aid further includes a feedback reduction unit configured to reduce risk of howl due to acoustic, electrical, and/or mechanical feedback of an external feedback path from the output unit to the input unit. The feedback reduction unit is configured to modulate the forward gain in time to provide that the forward gain exhibits an increased or unchanged forward gain in one or more first time periods and a reduced forward gain in one or more second time periods.

摘要： The present application relates to a system comprising a hearing aid, the hearing aid configured to be operated based on an estimation of a current listening effort of a hearing aid user. The system comprising an input unit for receiving an input sound signal from an environment of the hearing aid user and providing at least one electric input signal representing said input sound signal, an output unit for providing at least one set of stimuli perceivable as sound to the hearing aid user based on processed versions of said at least one electric input signal, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimator for determining an SNR in the environment of the hearing aid user, a processing unit connected to said input unit and to said output unit and comprising signal processing parameters of the system to provide processed versions of said at least one electric input signal, a memory unit configured to store reference sets of SNR and pulse transition time (PTT) of the hearing aid user, at least a first and a second physiological sensor, wherein the system being configured to determine, based on the first physiological sensor, a first point in time at a first maximum upslope point of a first measured parameter, determine, based on the second physiological sensor, a second point in time at a second maximum upslope point of a second measured parameter, establish a current PTT by calculating a time difference between the first point in time and the second point in time, and determine, based on the current PTT and the stored reference sets of SNR and PTT, a current listening effort of the hearing aid user.
