Patent ID: 8358794

Claim:
A method for adjusting a hearing aid, wherein the hearing aid has two hearing devices comprising a right hearing device for a right ear and a left hearing device for a left ear, wherein an adjusting device wirelessly exchanges data with at least one of the hearing devices, the method comprising: transmitting an acoustic signal asymmetrically to the hearing aid such that the acoustic signal is received at a receiver of only one of the hearing devices at a time, the acoustic signal used for a correct assignment of the two hearing devices to the ears of a wearer of the hearing aid for a correct side definition based on a side asymmetry of the acoustic signal; receiving by the adjustment device via an input device a notification of which ear of the wearer received the acoustic signal based on the side asymmetry of the acoustic signal; and based on the notification, effecting the correct side definition of the two hearing devices to allow for data to be wirelessly transmitted and stored on a correct hearing device during adjustment of the hearing aid.
