Abstract

The adaption system uses interaction between a control processor, the hearing impairment and the acoustics for providing a natural sound for all hearing situations, by evaluating the sound pattern received by the hearing aid user via the processor and adjusting the settings of the hearing aid accordingly. Pref. the sound pattern is selected by the patient from a number of alternative sound patterns before the sound pattern evaluation and hearing aid setting adjustment procedures.
