Acoustic feedback refers to the undesired acoustic coupling between the loudspeaker and microphone in hearing aids. This feedback channel poses limitations to the normal operation of hearing aids under varying acoustic scenarios. This work makes contributions to improve the performance of adaptive feedback cancellation techniques and speech quality in hearing aids. For this purpose a two microphone approach is proposed and analysed; and probe signal injection methods are also investigated and improved upon.
