Abstract

The adaption method uses provision of evaluation data for different defined hearing situations and adaption of the hearing aid via individual weightings provided for the hearing aid wearer, with a continuous weighting function passing through support points obtained by individual weighting of the evaluation data corresponding to the actual hearing situation. Also included are Independent claims for the following: (a) a device for adaption of a hearing aid to different hearing situations for the individual hearing aid wearer; (b) a hearing aid adapted to different hearing situations for the individual hearing aid wearer
