Abstract
Disclosed herein, among other things, are apparatus and methods for tonality-driven feedback canceler adaptation for hearing devices. Various embodiments include a method of signal processing an input signal in a hearing device to mitigate entrainment, the hearing device including a receiver and a microphone. The method includes detecting strength of tonality of the input signal by estimating a second derivative of subband phase of the input signal, and adjusting parameters of an adaptive feedback canceler of the hearing device based on the detected tonality.
