Patent ID: 7231055

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a hearing device which is adapted to an individual comprising: providing a model modeling a psycho-acoustic perception variable from acoustic signals; setting said model so that said psycho-acoustic perception variable as modeled is at least substantially equal to said psycho-acoustic perception variable as perceived by a standard individual; further setting said model so that said psycho-acoustic perception variable as modeled is at least substantially equal to said psycho-acoustic perception variable as perceived by said individual; providing an adjusting apparatus separate from said hearing device and setting said adjusting apparatus as a function of said setting and of said further setting; operationally connecting an input of said adjusting apparatus to an output of an input converter of said hearing device; and adjusting a transmission between said output of said input converter and an input of an output converter of said hearing device as a function of an output of said adjusting apparatus, wherein said model is provided at said hearing device, feeding a signal dependent on an output signal of said input converter to said model as set and feeding a signal dependent of an input signal to said output converter of said hearing device to said model as further set.
