Abstract:
1. A method for self-adjusting a hearing aid by a user to an individual hearing loss of the user, which comprises the steps of: transferring the hearing aid to a self-adjustment mode for fundamentally adjusting the hearing aid to the individual hearing loss of the user; selecting an adjustment program from a multiplicity of adjustment programs predefined in the hearing aid by means of an operating element, the adjustment programs which can be set in the self-adjustment mode differing in terms of a gain at least essentially only above a first threshold value and below a second threshold value of a frequency range which can be transmitted by the hearing aid, the adjustment programs allowing no amplification to be carried out below said first threshold value and allowing maximum amplification above said second threshold value at which the hearing aid can still be reliably operated in a stable manner; setting parameters relating to at least one of a transfer function, a compression, a noise reduction, a directivity or a feedback suppression by selecting the adjustment program; setting different adjustment programs by means of the operational element disposed on the hearing aid or on a remote control separate from the hearing aid; and terminating the self-adjustment mode and operating the hearing aid on the basis of a selected adjustment program.
