Switched Combination of Simplified Kalman Filter and Affine Projection Algorithm for Acoustic Feedback Cancellation

Abstract Acoustic coupling between the microphone and the loudspeaker is a major issue in open-fit digital hearing aids. When compared to a close-fit hearing aid, an open-fit dramatically reduces signal quality and limits the potential maximum stable gain. Adaptive feedback cancellation (AFC) is a practical method for reducing the influence of acoustic coupling. However, because to the high correlation between the loudspeaker signal and the incoming signal, it might induce bias in calculating the feedback path if not carefully considered, especially when the incoming signal is spectrally coloured, as in speech and music. For decreasing this bias, the prediction error method (PEM) is well recognised. In this paper we proposed a switched PEM based hybrid combination of simpliedkalman filter and affine projection algorithms (H-SKF-APA), with soft-clipping that allows for further increase in convergence/tracking rates, resulting in a better ability to recover from an unstable or howling state. Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm performed better.
