Systems and Methods for Configuring Hearing Aid Devices

A method for configuring a hearing aid device comprising:

• a) automatically selecting a sound file from a sound database;
• b) automatically processing the sound file with a first set of sound processing parameter settings to generate two distinct processed first stimuli through employment of a sound processing device;
• c) automatically playing the two distinct processed first stimuli to a user;
• d) automatically recording a preferred first setting by the user;
• e) automatically processing the sound file with a second set of sound processing parameter settings to generate two distinct processed second stimuli through employment of the sound processing device;
• f) automatically playing the two distinct processed second stimuli to the user;
• g) automatically recording a preferred second setting by the user;
• h) automatically processing the sound file with a third set of sound processing parameter settings to generate two distinct processed third stimuli through employment of the sound processing device;
• i) automatically playing the two distinct processed third stimuli to the user;
• j) automatically recording a preferred third setting by the user;
• and
• k) automatically determining hearing aid parameter settings for the user based on the preferred third setting.
