A hearing device system and the method for processing audio signals are described. The hearing device system has at least one hearing device having a recording device for recording an input signal, at least one neural network for separating at least one audio signal from the input signal and a playback device for playing back an output signal ascertained from the at least audio signal. A calibration device is connected to the at least one hearing device in the data-transmitting manner. The at least one neural network is customizable and/or replaceable by the calibration device.

An ear level auditory system comprising at least one ear level audio device (110, 210) adapted to provide a treatment based on inducing neural oscillations in a user.

A method for determining social interaction of a user wearing a hearing device which comprises at least one microphone and at least one classifier. The method comprises: receiving an audio signal from the at least one microphone and/or a sensor signal from the at least one further sensor; identifying, by the at least one classifier, one or more predetermined user activity values by evaluating the audio signal from the at least one microphone and/or the sensor signal from the at least one further sensor; and calculating a user social interaction metric indicative of the social interaction of the user from the identified user activity values, wherein the user activity values are assigned to predefined social interaction levels, and wherein the user social interaction metric is a function of the user activity values weighted with their respective contribution to each of the social interaction levels.

A self-adaptive adjustment method for a hearing aid is provided. Audio adjustment parameters including a first audio compression rate, a second audio compression rate and a preset volume compression threshold are previously stored in the hearing aid. The self-adaptive adjustment method includes (S1) receiving and converting an external sound source into an input audio signal, (S2) converting the input audio signal into a first output audio signal at a first audio compression rate, (S3) determining a relative relation between the set output volume level and the default volume level of the hearing aid, calculating a dynamic volume compression threshold, and comparing and determining whether the volume of the input audio signal is greater than the dynamic volume compression threshold, and (S4) converting the input audio signal into a second output audio signal at a second audio compression rate.
