1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a first user input from a computing device, wherein the first user input is indicative of a selection of a first hearing aid profile, and wherein the selected hearing aid profile corresponds to an acoustic environment of a first physical environment;
output a sound sample representative of the acoustic environment of the first physical environment from the computing device in a second, different physical environment;
receive a second user input from the computing device, wherein the second user input includes at least one adjusted parameter of the selected hearing aid profile;
generate an updated hearing aid profile including the at least one adjusted parameter;
provide the updated hearing aid profile to a hearing aid through a communication channel;
apply the updated hearing aid profile to the sound sample to generate an adjusted sound sample representative of the acoustic environment of the first physical environment; and
output the adjusted sound sample representative of the acoustic environment of the first physical environment from the computing device in the second physical environment.

Abstract
A system for updating a hearing aid by providing an update to a hearing aid to configure the hearing aid for an acoustic environment with a sound profile different than a physical environment a user is currently located in with an acoustic sample representative of the acoustic environment.

8. An apparatus comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to communicate with a hearing aid; a user interface configured to receive instructions from a user; a transducer configured to output sound, wherein the transducer is positioned in a first acoustic environment; a processor coupled to the transceiver; and a memory accessible to the processor, wherein the memory is configured to store a plurality of instructions, that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; receive a first user input from the user interface indicative of a selection of a hearing aid profile, wherein the selected hearing aid profile corresponds to a second acoustic environment different from the first acoustic environment; output a sound sample representative of the second acoustic environment to the transducer in response to the first user input; receive a second user input from the user interface to adjust at least one parameter of the selected hearing aid profile; generate an updated hearing aid profile including the at least one adjusted parameter in response to the second input; transmit the updated hearing aid profile via the transceiver to the hearing aid while outputting the sound sample via the transducer; apply the updated hearing aid profile to the sound sample to generate an adjusted sound sample representative of the second acoustic environment; and output the adjusted sound sample to the transducer. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
