Patent ID: 8180079

Claim:
A method for setting target hearing device based on a characteristic of a source hearing device, comprising: creating a transformation database; identifying the source hearing device; identifying a setting of the source hearing device; determining a characteristic of the source hearing device when the source hearing device is set to the identified setting; retrieving a setting via the transformation database, the retrieved setting being such that when set to the target hearing, device the resulting characteristic of the target hearing device corresponds to the determined characteristic of the source hearing device when it is set to identified setting wherein said retrieving is based on an inset that specifies the identified source hearing device, the target hearing device, and the identified setting of the source hearing device; setting the target hearing device with the retrieved setting, wherein the source hearing device and the target hearing device are different, and wherein the transformation database is created to store settings which have to be set on hearing devices of different types, in order to assign to these hearing devices the characteristic of other hearing devices with identified settings.
