Abstract

A setting method for a hearing aid and a device therefor are proposed, by means of which a model for the perception of a psychoacoustic quantity, especially the loudness, is parametrised for a standard group of persons (LN) and for an individual (LI). Setting information is determined on the basis of differences in the models, especially with respect to their parametrisation, by means of which information the signal transmission is designed or adjusted at a hearing aid (HG) ex situ, or controlled in situ, respectively. <IMAGE>
