Abstract:
A hearing system includes a hearing aid and a personal communication device connected via a short range data communication link. The hearing aid has a signal processor processing an input signal according to audio processing parameters, a sub-system applying respective sets of processing parameters for at least two modes, a classifier component analyzing the auditory environment statistically by comparing specific characteristics of the input signal to one or more thresholds. A program selector component selects automatically an appropriate mode for the signal processing sub-system according to the classifier output. The personal communication device offers the user a user interface for controlling and interacting with the program selector component of the hearing aid, and for generating and transmitting a notification to the hearing aid. Upon reception of the notification, the processor at least one of said one or more thresholds used by the classifier component.

Claim (Index 1):
A hearing aid comprising:\n a processor processing an audio signal according to a set of audio processing parameters in a signal processing sub-system having at least two modes of operation; a classifier statistically analyzing at least one specific characteristic of the audio signal, the statistical analysis including comparison of specific characteristics to one or more thresholds; a program selector automatically selecting one of the at least two modes of operation based on input from the classifier; a user interface permitting a user to manually select a mode of operation of said hearing aid; wherein the processor is adapted for detecting that the manually selected mode of operation is different from the one mode of operation; and wherein the processor is adapted for uploading a set of thresholds and corresponding statistical data to an external server, in response to the processor detecting that the manually selected mode of operation differs from said one mode of operation.
