Abstract:
A method for detecting a defect in a hearing instrument that has at least one first input transducer and at least one output transducer. A first transfer function of a first acoustic system, which includes the output transducer and the first input transducer, is determined, and at least a first reference function for the first transfer function is determined. The first transfer function is compared with the first reference function and a defect in the hearing instrument is detected based on the comparison. A hearing instrument with an input transducer and an output transducer is set up to carry out the method.

Claim (Index 5):
The method according to  claim 4 , which comprises using the adaptive filter in the hearing instrument to suppress acoustic feedback via the acoustic feedback path that runs from the output transducer to the first input transducer.
