ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a hearing aid with an adaptive filter for suppression of acoustic feedback in the hearing aid. The hearing aid further comprises a controller that is adapted to compensate for acoustic feedback by determination of a first parameter of an acoustic feedback loop of the hearing aid and adjustment of a second parameter of the hearing aid in response to the first parameter whereby generation of undesired sounds is substantially avoided. Hereby a gain safety margin requirement is significantly reduced.
