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;
periodically sampling the input signal;
utilizing a processor to compare the sampled input signal to a set of previously sampled input signals previously identified by a user, each previously sampled input signal corresponding to an adjustable policy;
utilizing the processor to determine whether the sampled input signal matches one of the set of previously sampled input signals previously identified by the user;
upon a positive determination, providing the adjustable policy corresponding to the matching previously sampled input signal for controlling the hearing aid for the user; and
receiving an adjustment input from the user to adjust the adjustable policy upon occurrence of the matching previously sampled input signal.
