1. A method of operating a hearing aid system having a hearing aid with at least one input transducer, an output transducer, and a motion sensor, the method comprising:
capturing a movement of a hearing aid system user as movement data of the motion sensor;
determining a probability of a future fall or trip event on the part of the hearing aid system user on a basis of the movement data;
generating a perceptible warning signal when the probability reaches or exceeds a stored threshold value; and
adjusting a hearing aid parameter and/or a hearing aid performance of the hearing aid depending on the probability of the future fall or trip event by varying settings of the hearing aid with regard to signal processing and output of an ambient signal in the event of a change in a risk of falling so as to minimize the risk of falling.
