Claim 11:
12. 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;
determining an environmental situation of the hearing aid system user on a basis of acoustic data of the input transducer, and assigning the movement data to the environmental situation and storing in a memory; and
wherein the step of determining the probability comprises comparing the movement data for a particular environmental situation with the stored movement data and environmental situations.
