Claim Text:
1. A system for programming at least one hearing device, comprising: stereo headphones having a first speaker configured for positioning relative to a first ear of a user and a second speaker configured for positioning relative to a second ear of a user; a processing device electronically coupled to the stereo headphones, wherein the processing device is configured to simultaneously provide a first audible tone through the first speaker of the stereo headphones and a second audible tone through the second speaker of the stereo headphones, wherein the first audible tone has a first sound pressure level and wherein the second audible tone has a second sound pressure level; a user controllable interface electronically coupled to the processing device, the user controllable interface configured to allow a user to adjust the first sound pressure level of the first audible tone to a first adjusted sound pressure level so that the user perceives the first adjusted sound pressure level of the first audible tone to be substantially balanced with the second sound pressure level of the second audible tone, the processing device further configured to record at least one first datum representing a difference between the first adjusted sound pressure level and the second sound pressure level; and a programming interface configured to receive the at least one first datum and for programming at least one hearing device based on the at least one first datum according to the difference between the first adjusted sound pressure level and the second sound pressure level.
