    Abstract: A system comprises an ear-worn electronic device configured to be worn by a wearer. The ear-worn electronic device comprises a processor and memory coupled to the processor. The memory is configured to store an annoying sound dictionary representative of a plurality of annoying sounds pre-identified by the wearer. A microphone is coupled to the processor and configured to monitor an acoustic environment of the wearer. A speaker or a receiver is coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to identify different background noises present in the acoustic environment, determine which of the background noises correspond to one or more of the plurality of annoying sounds, and attenuate the one or more annoying sounds in an output signal provided to the speaker or receiver.

    Abstract: A system and method of determining a filter to cancel feedback signals from input signals in a hearing assistance device includes determining feedback signals for a plurality of feedback paths associated with the device, and determining a model of the plurality of feedback paths, with the model having an invariant portion and a time varying portion. A probable structure of the invariant portion is determined to generate a structural constraint to constrain the plurality of feedback paths, and probability distributions to impose the structural constraint on the invariant portion are determined. During an iterative process, the invariant portion is iteratively determined using the determined probability distributions and the feedback path measurements. A measurement noise variance representative of model mismatch is updated, for each iteration, to reduce a probability of a non-desirable determination of an invariant filter, and the invariant filter is determined in response to a criterion for ending the iterative process being satisfied.
