Abstract

A hearing aid device for an individual is manufactured in that information about individual's audio needs (I1a, I1b), information about three-dimensional shape of the application area of the hearing device at the individual (I2), information about additional individual not audio needs (I3) and information (I4) about technical feasibility of hearing devices is input to a computer system (3v) and the concept of the hearing device is three-dimensionally visualized to the individual (1). The concept as visualized is amended controlled by the individual, and the data as approved by the individual and defining for the concept are frozen for subsequent realization of the hearing device hardware.
