Hearing system and method for operating a hearing system

A hearing system comprising

• at least one hearing device;
• at least one signal processing unit;
• a user interface comprising at least one user control by means of which at least one audio processing parameter of said signal processing unit is adjustable;
• a sensor unit;
• a control unit operationally connected to each of the above elements;
• wherein said control unit is adapted to
• a) obtaining adjustment data representative of adjustments of said at least one parameter carried out by operating said at least one user control;
• b) obtaining characterizing data from data outputted from said sensor unit substantially at the time said adjustment data are obtained;
• c) determining an amount of contribution of said adjustment data based on said characterizing data
• d) deriving correction data from said adjustment data based on the determined amount of contribution of adjustment data;
• e) recognizing an update event;
• and,
• upon step e):
• f) using corrected settings for said at least one audio processing parameter in said signal processing unit, which corrected settings are derived in dependence of said correction data.

• A) obtaining adjustment data representative of adjustments of at least one audio processing parameter of a signal processing unit of a hearing system carried out by operating at least one user control of said hearing system;
• B) obtaining characterizing data from data outputted from a sensor unit of said hearing system substantially at the time said adjustment data are obtained;
• C) determining an amount of contribution of said adjustment data based on said characterizing data
• D) deriving correction data from said adjustment data based on the determined amount of contribution of adjustment data;
• E) recognizing an update event;
• and,
• upon step E):
• F) using corrected settings for said at least one audio processing parameter in said signal processing unit, which corrected settings are derived in dependence of said correction data.
