Abstract:
1. A method for adjusting a hearing device to a user, which comprise the steps of: setting the hearing device individually to the user; inserting the hearing device at least partially into an auditory canal of the user; measuring an acoustic impedance of an auditory system of the user including at least part of the auditory canal of the user in-situ; performing the measuring being an in-situ measurement using a tympanometric method; rendering an ear-drum for the in-situ measurement temporarily hard-walled by applying air pressure to an area of a middle ear; and automatically correcting an individual setting of the hearing device on a basis of a result of the in-situ measurement by using a difference between two in-situ measurements, one with a hard-walled ear-drum and another with a non-hard-walled ear-drum, to automatically correct the setting.
