Abstract (en)

[origin: US4845757A] A circuit arrangement for suppressing oscillations, such as acoustic feedback in a hearing aid, has a circuit which recognizes the presence of oscillations in a useful signal, an oscillatory frequency search circuit, and an oscillation modifying circuit controlled by the search circuit. The oscillation modifying circuit suppresses oscillations by filtering. Drift effects are avoided by a frequency clamp-on sub-circuit in the search circuit, which retains the frequency of the recognized oscillation at the modifying circuit, even when the oscillatory signal at the input of the search circuit disappears.
