1. A computer usable program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable storage medium including computer usable code for use in controlling a hearing aid based on an adjustable policy, the computer usable program product comprising code for performing the steps of:
- receiving an input signal;
receiving an indication signal from a user identifying the input signal;
upon receiving the indication signal, sampling the input signal;
receiving an adjustment to the hearing aid with the indication signal;
utilizing a processor to store the sampled input signal in memory with the adjustment to the hearing aid as an adjustable policy corresponding to the sampled input signal;
receiving a second input signal;
periodically sampling the second input signal;
utilizing the processor to compare the sampled second input signal to a set of sampled input signals previously identified by the user including the sampled input signal, each of the set of sampled input signals having a corresponding adjustable policy;
utilizing the processor to determine whether the sampled second input signal matches one of the set of sampled input signals previously identified by the user; and
upon a positive determination, providing the corresponding adjustable policy for controlling the hearing aid.

6. A data processing system for controlling a hearing aid based on an adjustable policy, the data processing system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory storing program instructions which when executed by the processor execute the steps of; receiving an input signal; receiving an indication signal from a user identifying the input signal; upon receiving the indication signal, sampling the input signal; receiving an adjustment to the hearing aid with the indication signal; and utilizing the processor to store the sampled input signal in memory with the adjustment to the hearing aid as an adjustable policy corresponding to the sampled input signal; receiving a second input signal; periodically sampling the second input signal; utilizing the processor to compare the sampled second input signal to a set of sampled input signals previously identified by the user including the sampled input signal, each of the set of sampled input signals having a corresponding adjustable policy; utilizing the processor to determine whether the sampled second input signal matches one of the set of sampled input signals previously identified by the user; and upon a positive determination, providing the corresponding adjustable policy for controlling the hearing aid. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16)
