Claim:
1. A method for fitting a monaural hearing device, the method comprising: obtaining audiograms of both ears; obtaining head shape information of a user; and adjusting an amplification gain based on the audiograms of both ears, wherein the audiograms comprise an audiogram of a first ear for wearing the monaural hearing device and an audiogram of a second ear for not wearing the monaural hearing device, and wherein the adjusting of the amplification gain comprises: generating a volume fitting table using the head shape information and the audiogram of the first ear; calculating a level difference per frequency band of audio signals perceived by both ears, using the volume fitting table and the audiogram with respect to the second ear; extracting a detection threshold range based on the audiograms with respect to both ears; adjusting the volume fitting table so that the level difference per frequency band is included in the detection threshold range in response to the level difference per frequency band being beyond the detection threshold range; setting the adjusted volume fitting table as a directivity fitting table; and adjusting the amplification gain according to the directivity fitting table.
