Abstract:
1. A method for adjusting a hearing apparatus, the method which comprises: performing a percentile analysis for obtaining at least one frequency response for the hearing apparatus; determining a deviation of the frequency response from a target amplification characteristic curve; determining an up-to-date frequency response by presenting a constant noise signal or a single sinusoidal sweep at an input to the hearing apparatus and measuring a level thereof at an output of the hearing apparatus; subsequently changing settings for the hearing apparatus in order to reduce the deviation of the frequency response from the target amplification characteristic curve; subsequently determining the up-to-date frequency response with the changed settings by presenting the constant noise signal or the single sinusoidal sweep at the input to the hearing apparatus and measuring a level thereof at the output of the hearing apparatus, and determining a relative change in the frequency response due to the changes in the settings; and performing a further percentile analysis following the step of determining the relative change.
