Abstract
An exemplary method includes a hearing system directing, during a fitting session during which the hearing system operates in accordance with a fitting mode, the hearing system to provide to the user a plurality of audio prompts at a plurality of different presentation levels, determining, for the plurality of audio prompts, a plurality of speech recognition levels, each speech recognition level of the plurality of speech recognition levels corresponding to a respective presentation level of the plurality of different presentation levels, and setting, based on the plurality of speech recognition levels, a particular active noise canceling (ANC) strength for use in a normal operation mode of the hearing system subsequent to the fitting session for the user.

A method of facilitating fitting of a hearing system worn by a user, the method comprising:
- directing, by a processor during a fitting session during which the hearing system operates in accordance with a fitting mode, the hearing system to provide to the user a plurality of audio prompts at a plurality of different presentation levels;
- determining, by the processor and for the plurality of audio prompts, a plurality of speech recognition levels, each speech recognition level of the plurality of speech recognition levels corresponding to a respective presentation level of the plurality of different presentation levels;
- and
- setting, by the processor and based on the plurality of speech recognition levels, a particular active noise canceling (ANC) strength for use in a normal operation mode of the hearing system subsequent to the fitting session for the user, the setting the particular ANC strength comprising determining the particular ANC strength that corresponds to a first speech recognition level of the plurality of speech recognition levels that meets a threshold difference relative to a second speech recognition level of the plurality of speech recognition levels.
A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for performing a process comprising:
- directing, during a fitting session during which a hearing system operates in accordance with a fitting mode, the hearing system to provide to a user of the hearing system a plurality of audio prompts at a plurality of different presentation levels;
- determining, for the plurality of audio prompts, a plurality of speech recognition levels, each speech recognition level of the plurality of speech recognition levels corresponding to a respective presentation level of the plurality of different presentation levels;
- and
- setting, based on the plurality of speech recognition levels, a particular active noise canceling (ANC) strength for use in a normal operation mode of the hearing system subsequent to the fitting session for the user, the setting the particular ANC strength comprising determining the particular ANC strength that corresponds to a first speech recognition level of the plurality of speech recognition levels that meets a threshold difference relative to a second speech recognition level of the plurality of speech recognition levels.
A system comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform a process comprising:
- directing, during a fitting session during which a hearing system operates in accordance with a fitting mode, the hearing system to provide to a user of the hearing system a plurality of audio prompts at a plurality of different presentation levels;
- determining, for the plurality of audio prompts, a plurality of speech recognition levels, each speech recognition level of the plurality of speech recognition levels corresponding to a respective presentation level of the plurality of different presentation levels;
- and
- setting, based on the plurality of speech recognition levels, a particular active noise canceling (ANC) strength for use in a normal operation mode of the hearing system subsequent to the fitting session for the user, the setting the particular ANC strength comprising determining the particular ANC strength that corresponds to a first speech recognition level of the plurality of speech recognition levels that meets a threshold difference relative to a second speech recognition level of the plurality of speech recognition levels.
