Abstract
A signal processor of a hearing device has a feedback canceller for determining and, if present, canceling feedback. A method of operating the hearing device includes retrieving for a predetermined sample period a set of data of the feedback canceller that represents an acoustic feedback path between the speaker and the microphone; reducing an amount of the data within the set of data; applying a denoising step to the set of data; generating a representative set that is representative for the data within the set; inputting the representative set to a neural network that is trained to retrieve from the input data a measure indicating proper or improper positioning of the hearing device within the ear canal; and issuing a notice to a user of the hearing device at least when the measure indicates an improper positioning.
