Abstract

A method for monitoring a fit of a hearing device (1) that is at least partially inserted into an ear canal of a hearing device user is described. The method comprises the steps of estimating a feedback measure reflecting behavior between a receiver (4) and a microphone (2) of the hearing device (1) inserted into an ear, comparing the estimated feedback measure with a predetermined feedback measure, and indicating a misfit once the comparison of the estimated feedback measure with the predetermined feedback measure shows that the hearing device (1) is not properly inserted into the ear canal of the hearing device user.
