Communication device and hearing aid system

A hearing aid system, comprising a communication device and a terminal hearing device,

• the communication device comprising:
• a wireless communication terminal;
• at least one processor configured to receive a signal representing an audio signal from the wireless communication terminal;
• and
• a storage element coupled to the processor having a personal audibility feature (PAF) file stored therein, the PAF file comprising a personal audibility feature of a predetermined user;
• wherein the processor is further configured to modify the signal representing the audio signal according to the PAF file and to provide a further signal representing an audio stream based on the modified signal to the terminal hearing device via the wireless communication terminal;
• and
• wherein the processor comprises a classifier configured to analyze the audio signal, to classify a hearing condition based on the analysis of characteristics of the received audio signal, and to process the audio signal according to the classified hearing conditions.

A communication device, comprising:

• at least one microphone configured to convert sound received from an audio source into at least one signal representing an audio signal, one per microphone;
• at least one processor configured to receive the at least one signal representing the audio signal;
• a wireless communication terminal;
• and
• a storage element coupled to the processor having a personal audibility feature (PAF) file stored therein, the PAF file comprising a personal audibility feature of a predetermined user;
• wherein the processor is further configured to modify the at least one signal representing the audio signal according to the PAF file and to provide a further signal representing an audio stream based on the modified signal to the wireless communication terminal, wherein the provision of the further signal representing the audio stream is activatable by manual control or by an acoustic activation signal received in the at least one microphone;
• and
• wherein the processor comprises a classifier configured to analyze the audio signal, to classify a hearing condition based on the analysis of characteristics of the received audio signal, and to process the audio signal according to the classified hearing conditions.
