Method of fitting hearing aid connected to mobile terminal and mobile terminal performing the method

A method of fitting a hearing aid connected to a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

• acquiring location information of a location of the mobile terminal;
• transmitting the location information to a server;
• receiving, from the server, information about at least one recommended fitting parameter model adapted to hearing conditions of the location and hearing characteristics of a user of the hearing aid;
• displaying the information about the at least one recommended fitting parameter model;
• receiving a fitting parameter model selected by the user from among the at least one recommended fitting parameter model;
• and
• controlling the hearing aid to function according to the received fitting parameter model.

A mobile terminal connected to a hearing aid, the mobile terminal comprising:

• a positioning system configured to acquire location information of a location of the mobile terminal;
• a communication interface configured to transmit the location information of the mobile terminal to a server, and receive, from the server, a fitting parameter model corresponding to hearing characteristics of the user from among fitting parameter models of the hearing aid, that are mapped to the location;
• and
• a setting unit configured to transmit a signal to control the hearing aid according to the received fitting parameter model.

A method executed on a user equipment that is communicatively connected to a hearing aid, the method comprising:

• acquiring location information of the user equipment;
• determining a fitting parameter model for the hearing aid based on the location information;
• and
• controlling the hearing aid to function according to the fitting parameter model.
