Abstract
A method for operating a hearing aid system. The hearing aid system includes a hearing aid with at least one input transducer, an output transducer, and a motion sensor. The movement of a hearing aid system user is captured as movement data of the motion sensor. A probability for a future fall or trip event on the part of the hearing aid system user is determined on the basis of the captured movement data. A perceptible warning signal is generated when the probability reaches or exceeds a stored threshold value.

A method of operating a hearing aid system having a hearing aid with at least one input transducer, an output transducer, and a motion sensor, the method comprising:
- capturing a movement of a hearing aid system user as movement data of the motion sensor;
- determining a probability of a future fall or trip event on the part of the hearing aid system user on a basis of the movement data;
- generating a perceptible warning signal when the probability reaches or exceeds a stored threshold value;
- and
- adjusting a hearing aid parameter and/or a hearing aid performance of the hearing aid depending on the probability of the future fall or trip event.
