Abstract

The invention relates to a method for adjusting a behind-the-ear hearing device (10) comprising an electroacoustic output transducer (18) connected to a tubing (26) extending into a user's ear canal, said method comprising: measuring the electrical impedance of the output transducer (18, 118); analyzing the measured electrical impedance of the output transducer (18, 118) in order to determine the length and/or diameter of the tubing (26); and adjusting the operation parameters of the hearing device according the determined length and/or diameter of the tubing (26) in order to optimize the acoustical performance of the hearing device..
