Method, hearing system, and computer program for improving a listening experience of a user wearing a hearing device

A hearing system for improving a listening experience of a user wearing a hearing device, the hearing system comprising the hearing device, the hearing device comprising:

• at least one sound input component for generating an audio signal;
• a sound processing module for modifying the audio signal;
• and
• at least one sound output component for outputting the modified audio signal to the user;
• the hearing system further comprising:
• an audio provision module for providing an audio sample based on the audio signal generated by the sound input component;
• an audio recognition module for determining whether the audio sample comprises an audio content matching a predetermined sound pattern indicative of an original version of the audio content by analyzing the audio sample;
• and
• an audio comparison module for comparing the audio sample with the original version of the audio content, if the audio sample is determined to comprise the audio content matching the predetermined sound pattern, and for determining at least one acoustic property of current surroundings of the user depending on the comparison;
• wherein:
• the audio provision module or the audio comparison module is configured for determining at least one parameter for the modification of the audio signal depending on the determined acoustic property;
• the audio signal is generated from sound that originates in a listening environment in the current surroundings of the user, the sound not being generated by the hearing system;
• the original version of the audio content is used as a calibration signal for calibrating the sound processing module;
• and
• the original version of the audio content corresponds to a known music track, a known jingle, a known audio book, a known recurring public announcement, or a known computer generated voice message.
