Abstract

Commonly used wideband adaptive feedback cancellation techniques do not provide satisfactory performance for reducing feedback oscillation in hearing aids. In this paper, a band-limited adaptive feedback cancellation algorithm using normalized filtered-X LMS techniques is proposed that provides good cancellation efficiency, convergence behavior and better output sound quality for speech signals, when compared to the wideband approach. Convergence analysis and computer simulations illustrate the advantages of the proposed approach.
