In accordance with an embodiment, a system for processing an incoming signal for audio application includes a parameter extraction module coupled for receiving an incoming signal having a first frequency that is configured to extract at least one parameter from the incoming signal. The system includes at least one oscillator and at least one processing engine processing that receives a clock signal from the at least one oscillator. In accordance with another embodiment, a method is provided that performs a first processing with the clock signal and generates an oscillator control signal for adjusting the frequency of the clock from the oscillator adaptively depending on parameters of the incoming signal extracted or analyzed in the first processing.

Method and system for protecting content in a programmable system is provided. The system is connectable to an external device through one or more access ports. Content protection method/manager is implemented by assigning one or more access modes to the access port and switching the access modes. In response to a current access mode, the content protection method/manager restricts visibility of the system to the external device via the access port.

A method and system for data logging in a listening device is provided. The system includes a digital signal processing (DSP) entity, which performs normal hearing aid audio and system processing, a level translating module, and a non-volatile (NV) memory. The NV memory is used to store logged data. During the hearing aid audio processing, the DSP entity communicates with the NV memory via the level translating module. The level translating module performs voltage-translation during data logging to a communication signal between the DSP entity and the NV memory.

A method and system for reducing audible side effects of dynamic current consumption is provided. The system includes an audio subsystem, and a plurality of digital subsystems. The audio subsystem and the digital subsystem are powered by a common power supply. T he digital subsystem processes data packets including audio data packets. The processing events implemented in one or more than one digital subsystem are reorganized to change the profile for executing the events inside the subsystem(s). The dynamic current spectral properties in one or more digital subsystems are changed.

A method for equalizing output signals from a plurality of signal paths is disclosed. The method comprises steps of identifying a transfer function for each of signal paths, determining a filtering function for each signal path such that a product of the transfer function, and the filtering function is a selected function and applying the filtering function to the corresponding signal path, thereby correcting the transfer function of the signal path to the selected function to equalize the output signals from the signal paths. The step of applying the filtering function comprises steps of providing an equalization filter to the signal path and applying the filtering function to the equalization filter of its corresponding signal path, thereby equalizing output signals from the filter of the signal paths.
