In a method of fitting of a hearing device having an input transducer and an output transducer, the method includes executing a fitting application on a graphical user interface of an external device in communication with the hearing device, detecting by measuring reactions of the user to picked-up sound, performing acoustic feedback measurements as a background process without a user's involvement, assessing the probability of a correct physical fit based on the position of the inserted hearing device, assessing feedback risk based on the correct physical fit assessment and the acoustic feedback measurements, and fine tuning fitting parameter of the hearing device based on the result of at least one of the detected reactions of the user, acoustic feedback measurements and saved, within the fitting application, personal information of the user.

A method of personalizing at least one hearing aid for a hearing aid user including manufacturing at least one hearing aid (1), receiving an audiogram from a server (37) for the hearing aid user, programming the at least one hearing aid (1) by the audiogram, whereby the at least one hearing aid (1) becomes personalized for the hearing aid user. The at least one personalized hearing aid (1) is delivered to the hearing aid user. Once the user has received the at least one personalized hearing aid (1), he may take the hearing aids into use. If there arises a need for fine tuning, the hearing aid user may request a consultation with a hearing healthcare professional. The hearing healthcare professional has equipment (44, 45) for fine tuning the hearing aid (1), and he may fine tuning the at least one personalized hearing aid (1) in dialogue with the hearing aid user. Also provided is a hearing aid delivering system and an Internet enabled personal communication device.

The disclosed technology generally relates to operation modes for hearing devices. In some implementations, the disclosed technology includes a hearing device entering into and operating in an airplane mode or a mode of operation that limits communication with a select frequency or select group of frequencies. To enter a mode of operation, a user may use two inputs for the hearing device. For example, one input may be a battery closing and another input may include the pushing of a button on a device (e.g., on the hearing device or a mobile device in communication with the hearing device).

A method (300) of fitting a hearing aid system, based on the use of hearing aid system setting data and data related to a possible hearing aid system performance verification for a multitude of different hearing aid system users, as well as a hearing aid system adapted to carry out such a method.

The inventive concept relates to a smart hearing device for providing a control parameter and feedback for a natural language or a non-natural language determined by analyzing sound data, which includes a receiving unit that receives sound data of a voice signal and a noise signal from a first microphone and a second microphone being formed at one side, a determination unit that compares digital flow of the sound data with a previously stored graph pattern to determine a natural language or a non-natural language for the sound data, a processing unit that matches similar data for the determined natural language or non-natural language, based on a database including a natural language area and a non-natural language area, and a providing unit that provides a user with a one-sided sound converted by setting a control parameter in a natural language or a non-natural language specified according to the matched similar data.

Hearing device, accessory device, and a method of operating a hearing system comprising a hearing device and an accessory device is disclosed, the method comprising obtaining, in the accessory device, an audio input signal representative of audio from one or more audio sources; obtaining image data with a camera of the accessory device; identifying one or more audio sources including a first audio source based on the image data; determining a first model comprising first model coefficients, wherein the first model is based on image data of the first audio source and the audio input signal; and transmitting a hearing device signal to the hearing device, wherein the hearing device signal is based on the first model.

An earpiece in embodiments of the present invention may have one or more of the following features: (a) an earpiece housing, (b) at least one speaker, (c) a plurality of sensors disposed within the earpiece housing, and (d) a processor disposed within the earpiece housing and operatively connected to the plurality of sensors and the at least one speaker, wherein the processor is configured to use an artificial intelligence framework to evaluate sensor input from the plurality of sensors to provide advice to the user.

A method of fitting a hearing aid gain (100) adapted to take the vent effect into account. The invention is also directed at a hearing aid fitting system adapted to carry out said method.

Disclosed herein are method, system, and computer program product embodiments for performing the continuous tuning of received audio input from an earpiece, wherein the audio input is independently altered in the frequency domain for output to an earpiece worn by a user based on tuning profiles chosen by the user, or in combination with power conservation tuning profile auto-switching modes, including a time only and location only mode, switching tuning profiles based on data analyzed from various electronic sensors, for an optimal experience.
