Abstract
A method provides a long term feedback path estimate of a listening device. The method comprises a) providing an estimate of the current feedback path; b) providing a number of detectors of parameters or properties of the acoustic environment of the listening device and/or of a signal of the listening device, each detector providing one or more detector signals; c) providing a criterion for deciding whether an estimate of the current feedback path is reliable based on said detector signals; d) storing said estimate of the current feedback path, if said criterion IS fulfilled and neglecting said estimate of the current feedback path, if said criterion is NOT fulfilled; e) providing a long term estimate of the feedback path based on said stored estimate(s) of the current feedback path.
