Fitting procedure for hearing devices and corresponding hearing device

Abstract

The method for adjusting a hearing device to the hearing preferences of a user of said hearing device comprises the steps of a) classifying a hearing loss of said user according to one of N pre-defined hearing loss classes, wherein N≧3; b) obtaining, in dependence of said one hearing loss class, a gain model. The hearing system according to the invention comprises a sound generating unit for generating test sounds; a user interface for receiving user input from a user of said hearing system; a control unit operationally connected to said sound generating unit and to said user interface; wherein said control unit is adapted to classifying a hearing loss of said user—in dependence of said test sounds and said user input—according to one of N pre-defined hearing loss classes, wherein N≧3; and said control unit is adapted to obtaining—in dependence of said one hearing loss class—a gain model. A simplified hearing device fitting can be achieved.
