Abstract: A hearing device system for testing a user's hearing capability, comprises: a processing unit configured to determine a plurality of tones and an order of the tones; an acoustic output transducer configured to output audio signals; a tone generator configured to output the tones, where a first set of the plurality of tones will be audible to the user and a second set of the plurality of tones will be inaudible to the user; and a user interface or a communication unit configured to receive an indication from the user indicating an audible tone being perceived; wherein one of the tones comprises a new tone, and wherein the processing unit is configured to determine the new tone based on: whether a predefined number of preceding tones were audible or inaudible to the user, and an estimated probability of whether the new tone will be audible or inaudible to the user.

Abstract: A hearing aid system is provided that facilitates adjustment of signal processing parameters ? of the hearing aid system with minimum user intervention, wherein the hearing aid system is capable of calculating signal processing parameters ? for evaluation of the user when the user has entered an input, e.g. using a smartwatch, to this effect. The evaluation takes place for a certain time period and in the event that the user has entered a consent input indicating that he or she is pleased with the set ? of signal processing parameters under evaluation, the hearing aid system continues processing with those signal processing parameters; and if the user is not pleased with the signal processing parameters ? under evaluation, the hearing aid system calculates another set {circumflex over (?)} of signal processing parameters for evaluation of the user.
