Abstract:
1. A method for updating and transferring usage logs for a hearing assistance device, the method comprising: receiving acoustic signals and converting the acoustic signals to electrical signals using a sound sensor; processing the electrical signals for hearing assistance using a processor connected to the sound sensor; saving an actual usage log to a first storage in a hearing assistance device, the actual usage log adapted to log processing of the electrical signals using actual parameters; saving a hypothetical usage log to a second storage in the hearing assistance device, the hypothetical usage log adapted to log processing of the electrical signals using hypothetical parameters, wherein the hypothetical usage log includes modes of operation the device would have entered had the modes been selected; and updating the actual usage log and the hypothetical usage log using the processor; and transferring at least a portion of information from the actual usage log and the hypothetical usage log to a second device.
