Method for the adjustment of a hearing device, apparatus to do it and a hearing device
First Claim
1. Method for the adjustment of a hearing device (HG) to an individual (I), characterized in that at least one psycho-acoustic perception variable (L, Ff, ZMG) of a standard (N) is quantified for given acoustic signals;
- the same psycho-acoustic perception variable (L, Ff, ZMG) is quantified as it is perceived by the individual (I) for said acoustic signals;
according to deviations of said quantified psycho-acoustic perception variables, the hearing device is adjusted and realized in such a manner that said psycho-acoustic perception variable which is perceived by the individual with the hearing device is at least related to a corresponding psycho-acoustic perception variable in a previously defined way, which perception variable is perceived by the standard.

Abstract
An adjustment method for a hearing device and an apparatus to do it are proposed, by which a model for the perception of a psycho-acoustic variable, especially of the loudness, is parametrized for a standard group of individuals (LN) as well as for an individual (LI). On grounds of model differences, especially in relation to their parametrization, the adjustment values are determined, whereas the signal transmission is planned or adjusted at a hearing device (HG) ex situ or is guided in situ, respectively.
