1. A method for fitting a hearing device for a recipient, the method comprising:

  • obtaining threshold levels for the recipient unaided by the hearing device;

    obtaining threshold levels indicative of a minimum signal for the hearing device that causes a hearing percept by the recipient;

    calculating a transmission loss using the threshold for the recipient unaided by the device and the threshold for the hearing device that causes a hearing percept by the recipient;

    generating one or more control settings using the calculated transmission loss; and

    providing the control settings to the hearing device so that the hearing device applies a gain to sound received by the hearing device that separately compensates for the transmission loss and a hearing loss of the recipient,wherein the transmission loss is at least in part a result of losses at a coupling between the hearing device and the recipient, which coupling has at least a portion that is implanted in the recipient.
