Claim:
1. A hearing system comprising a hearing device (HD), and a programming device (PD), the hearing device comprising a feedback path analyzer (FPA) for providing an estimate of a feedback path from the output transducer to the input transducer, the hearing device (HD) and the programming device (PD) each comprising a programming interface (PI, PD-PI) allowing the exchange of data between the devices, wherein the feedback path analyzer (FPA) is located in the programming device (PD), and the hearing device (HD) comprises respective input (IBUF) and output (OBUF) buffers for storing corresponding input and output time segments of the electric input signal or a signal derived therefrom and of the processed output signal or a signal derived therefrom, respectively, and wherein the hearing device (HD)—in a specific feedback measurement mode—is configured to transmit said stored input and output time segments of the respective signals to the feedback path analyzer (FPA) of the programming device (PD) via said programming interface (PI, PD-PI), and wherein the feedback path analyzer (FPA) in said specific feedback measurement mode—is configured to determine said estimate of the feedback path based on said input and output time segments.
