The problem of feedback in hearing aids.
One of the factors that limits hearing-aid performance is feedback. This paper discusses the problem of feedback in hearing aids, illustrated with examples based on a computer simulation of hearing-aid behavior. The available technology for dealing with the problem of feedback is then reviewed, and new digital signal-processing approaches are described that may finally solve the feedback problem.
