SELF-ADJUSTMENT OF A HEARING AID AND HEARING AID
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for self-adjusting a hearing aid by a user to an individual hearing loss of the user, which comprises the steps of:
- transferring the hearing aid to a self-adjustment mode;
selecting an adjustment program from a multiplicity of adjustment programs predefined in the hearing aid by means of an operating element, the adjustment programs which can be set in the self-adjustment mode differing in terms of a gain at least essentially only above a first threshold value and below a second threshold value of a frequency range which can be transmitted by the hearing aid; and
terminating the self-adjustment mode and operating the hearing aid on the basis of a selected adjustment program.

Abstract
The adjustment of the signal processing carried out by a hearing aid to the individual hearing loss of a user is intended to be simplified. For this purpose, a number of predefined adjustment programs, from which the user selects a suitable program by operating an operating element, are provided in the hearing aid. Neither a visit to a hearing aid acoustician nor special adjustment devices is/are required for adjustment.
