HEARING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A HEARING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A hearing system (1) comprising at least one hearing device (11, 12) with:
- an input transducer (20);
an output transducer (40); and
a processing unit (30) operatively connected to the input transducer (20) as well as to the output transducer (40);
characterised in that the hearing system (1) further comprises;
a first means (50) for determining from a signal of the input transducer (20) at least one parameter (60) representative of a current acoustic environment at a current location; and
a second means for indicating to a user of the hearing system (1) a degree of suitability of the current location to achieve satisfactory hearing performance based on the at least one parameter (60).

Abstract
A hearing system (1) capable of assisting a user of the hearing system (1) to find a location where satisfactory hearing performance is achievable is described. The hearing system (1) comprises at least one hearing device (11, 12) with an input transducer (20), an output transducer (40), and a processing unit (30) operatively connected to the input transducer (20) as well as to the output transducer (40). The hearing system (1) further comprises a first means (50) for determining from a signal of the input transducer (20) at least one parameter (60) representative of a current acoustic environment at a current location, and a second means (40, 200, 201) for indicating to a user of the hearing system (1) a degree of suitability of the current location to achieve satisfactory hearing performance based on the at least one parameter (60).

12. A method for assisting a user of a hearing system to find a location where satisfactory hearing performance is achievable comprising the steps of:
-
determining from a signal of an input transducer (20) of the hearing system (1, 11, 12) at least one parameter (60) representative of a current acoustic environment of a current location; and indicating to the user of the hearing system the degree of suitability of the current location to achieve satisfactory hearing performance based on the at least one parameter (60). - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
