Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for adapting a hearing aid with at least one input converter, a signal processing device and an output converter by using a genetic feature of the wearer to whom the hearing aid is to be adapted. Depending on the genetic feature, at least one adaptable parameter is adapted by the signal processing device. The invention further relates to a hearing device system which can be adapted to the hearing device wearer as a function of a genetic feature.

11. A method for adapting a hearing aid based on a genetic feature of a wearer of the hearing aid, comprising:
-
detecting the genetic feature of the wearer of the hearing aid;
transmitting the genetic feature to the hearing aid; and
adapting an adaptable parameter of the hearing aid based on the genetic feature so that the hearing aid is individually adapted to the wearer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A hearing aid, comprising:
-
an electroacoustic input converter that converts an acoustic input signal to an electrical signal;
a device that receives a genetic feature of a wearer of the hearing aid;
a signal processing device that adapts an adaptable parameter of the hearing aid by an instruction sent out from the device based on the genetic feature and processes the electrical signal based on the adaptable parameter; and
an electroacoustic output converter that converts the processed electrical signal to an acoustic output signal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
