Abstract:
1. A hearing device, comprising: a measuring device for measuring a feedback path of the hearing device, said feedback path measured as a portion of an output signal from the hearing device that is fed back into the hearing device; an operating facility for operating the hearing device by the wearer, wherein a measuring cycle for determining at least one characteristic of the feedback path is activated using the operating facility; and a feedback compensator comprising parameters, wherein the hearing device is configured to determine whether the measuring cycle has terminated successfully or unsuccessfully by checking whether a predetermined abort criterion has been fulfilled, the predetermined abort criterion including an expiration of a measurement time and/or a presence of a specific fault condition, wherein the hearing device is configured to determine that the measurement has terminated unsuccessfully and to return to an original operating status without storing measured parameters determined during the measuring cycle and thus to operate again with the parameters of the feedback compensator in the original operating status when a result of the checking indicates that the predetermined abort criterion has been fulfilled, and wherein the hearing device is configured to determine that the measurement has terminated successfully and to store the measured parameters determined during the measuring cycle in a non-volatile memory, for use in a feedback algorithm when a result of the checking indicates that the predetermined abort criterion has not been fulfilled.
