Method of fitting a hearing device and fitting device for fitting the hearing device

A method of fitting a hearing device, wherein:

• the hearing device comprises:
• a) at least one input transducer for receiving an acoustic signal and converting the acoustic signal into an input signal;
• and
• b) a signal processing device for signal amplification of the input signal and generation of an output signal;
• and
• c) an output transducer for converting the output signal into a sound signal;
• and
• the method comprises:
• performing at least one test measurement in which a test signal is generated as an acoustic test signal and in which a hearing device user is prompted to judge the acoustic test signal to form a test result;
• using the test result to determine a fitting formula;
• and
• adjusting the signal processing device with the fitting formula such that, when, in operation of the hearing device, a rise time of a signal start of the input signal is less than or equal to a stored threshold value, the signal processing device causes the signal start of the output signal to be amplified by a higher gain value than a remainder of the output signal.
