Fitting system, and method of fitting a hearing device

Abstract

A method and a system for fitting a hearing device to a hearing loss of a user is devised. The method utilizes a data pool of existing hearing device fittings for training a deep neural network of the system to predict a dataset of gain value ranges for a hearing device fitting when the system is presented with a user profile comprising an audiogram, a set of user data, and a proposed hearing device. The dataset of gain value ranges predicted by the system may be subjected to statistical methods for providing a set of gain values suitable for being applied directly to the hearing device to be fitted. The system and the method may beneficially be used for automatically fitting an OTC hearing device, for checking a proposed hearing device fitting, or for updating an existing hearing device fitting, for instance when relevant data in the user profile changes.
