Abstract:
1. A hearing system comprising: at least one ear-applicable hearing device with an input acoustical/electrical converter arrangement, and a switching unit being switchable by an individual who controls said hearing device in a first stable operating status as desired by said individual or in at least one second stable operating status as desired by said individual, so as to adapt said hearing system by said individual to a respectively desired operating status, whereby said first and second stable operating statuses are different and are perceived by the individual as being different, said hearing system comprising a sensing unit sensing operating stability and operating instability of an acoustical feedback loop including said hearing device applied to said individual, said sensing unit controlling switch-over from said one desired to said at least one second desired operating status whenever instability of said feedback loop is sensed, said instability being willingly established by said individual at a desired moment and removed by said individual at a second desired moment so as to control said switch-over by the willingly applied instability.
