(57) The present invention uses the fact that the gain during feedback in the forward
path of a compressive system, as it is the case for a hearing device used to compensate
a hearing loss, after having reached its steady state in "closed loop" operation,
is equal to the feedback threshold gain (VκRIT). The steady state is reached soon after having applied a low input signal level
to the hearing device, which input signal level is below 55 dB SPL (Sound Pressure
Level), for example, and would result, for the open loop compressive system, in a
larger gain than the feedback threshold gain of the closed loop system, respectively,
would result in the maximum possible hearing device gain (Vmax) if maximum possible hearing device gain (Vmax) is below feedback threshold gain (VKRIT). The signal feedback gain is assessed in this steady state.
