Patent ID: 8553916

Claim:
A method for setting a hearing aid with a sequence of program positions, each program position corresponding to a hearing program, the method comprising: measuring, by a time measurement module for each hearing program that is selected by a selection device, a time period in which the hearing program is selected; calculating, via a learning algorithm by a computing module, a new sequence of the program positions using the measured time periods, the calculating the new sequence takes into account a desired setting value of the hearing aid; modifying the sequence of the program positions by a change module after a predefinable time span in accordance with the calculated new sequence wherein the new sequence is such that the program position of the hearing program selected for a longer time comes before the program position of the hearing program selected for a shorter time and wherein each hearing program is available for use after the new sequence is calculated, whereby the hearing aid is set with the sequence of program positions that was calculated using the measured time periods; determining that the measured time periods are less than the predefinable time span or that a different hearing program is selected, wherein a continued measurement or a new measurement of time period takes place in response to the determining that the measured time periods are less than the predefinable time span or that the different hearing program is selected.
