Abstract
An adaptive feedback canceller of an ear-wearable device has an adaptive foreground filter that inserts a feedback cancellation signal into a digitized input signal to produce an error signal. An instability detector of the device is configured to extract wo or more features from the error signal. The instability detector has a machine learning module that determines instability in the error signal based on the two or more features. The instability module changes the adaptive foreground filter in response to determining the instability. The change causes the adaptive foreground filter to have a faster adaptation to perturbations in the error signal compared to a previously used step size.
