Abstract
The speech recognition in a background noise-filled environment is to be improved. To this end, provision is made to record a speech signal of a predetermined speaker when adjusting a hearing apparatus and in particular a hearing device to a user and to analyze this speech signal. Within the scope of the adjustment, a signal processing algorithm of the hearing apparatus is then to be set as a function of the analysis result.

-8. (canceled)
An adjustment method for adjusting a hearing apparatus to a user, comprising:
- recording of a speech signal of a predetermined speaker;
- producing a speaker-specific analysis result of the speech signal;
- and
- setting of an algorithm in order to reduce background noises of the hearing apparatus as a function of the speaker-specific analysis result.
