Zusammenfassung:A system configured to perform acoustic feedback control to enable a device to perform hearing enhancement while suppressing acoustic feedback. During hearing enhancement, the device may amplify environmental noise based on a unique hearing profile associated with the user, personalizing equalization settings, a dynamic range, and/or other characteristics to optimize playback audio for the user. The acoustic feedback control may include an acoustic feedback cancellation (AFC) component that uses an adaptive filter to estimate and cancel a feedback signal. In addition, the AFC component may perform entrainment prevention by detecting periodic signals and adjusting an adaptation rate of the adaptive filter accordingly. Separately, the device may selectively suppress acoustic feedback by detecting frequency bands representing acoustic feedback (e.g., squeal detection) and applying one or more notch filter(s) to suppress the selected frequency bands (e.g., squeal suppression).
