Abstract
A hearing device includes a microphone that produces an audio input signal and a loudspeaker that outputs an amplified audio signal into an ear canal. A signal processing path is coupled to the microphone and the loudspeaker. The signal processing path includes a deep neural network configured to predict an instantaneous gain margin of the hearing device based on a set of inputs. The set of inputs includes a first parameter of the audio input signal, a second parameter of the amplified audio signal, and a gain of the signal processing path. A feedback reduction module of the device receives the predicted instantaneous gain margin and adjusts feedback reduction parameters to reduce an onset of feedback in the hearing device.
