Method for controlling and/or configuring a user-specific hearing system via a communication network
First Claim
1. A method for controlling and/or configuring a user-specific hearing system (3) by means of a computing and/or communication device (2), the hearing system (3) comprising at least one hearing device (4) customisable according to the individual hearing ability and/or preferences of a user (6) of the hearing system (3), the method comprising the steps of:
- connecting the hearing system (3) to a server (1) via a network (7) by sending a hearing system/device identifier from the hearing system (3) to the server;
connecting the computing and/or communication device (2) to the server (1) via the network (7) by sending a computing and/or communication device identifier from the computing and/or communication device (2) to the server (1);
providing by the server (1) to the computing and/or communication device (2) a hearing system control and/or configuration service tailored to the user-specific hearing system (3);
determining and/or selecting at the computing and/or communication device (2) control data and/or configuration data using the hearing system control and/or configuration service;
sending the control and/or configuration data from the computing and/or communication device (2) to the hearing system (3);
adjusting the hearing system (3) based on control and/or configuration data received at the hearing system (3),wherein the hearing system control and/or configuration service provides a user interface individually customized according to capabilities of the user'"'"'s hearing device.

Abstract
A method for controlling and/or configuring a user-specific hearing system using a computing and/or communication device. The hearing system includes at least one hearing device customizable according to the individual hearing ability and/or preferences of a user of the hearing system. The method includes connecting the hearing system to a server via a network, connecting the computing and/or communication device to the server via the network, providing by the server a hearing system control and/or configuration service tailored to the user-specific hearing system to the computing and/or communication device, determining and/or selecting at the computing and/or communication device control data and/or configuration data using the hearing system control and/or configuration service, sending the control and/or configuration data from the computing and/or communication device to the hearing system, and adjusting the hearing system based on control and/or configuration data received at the hearing system.
