    Abstract: A method trains a speaker recognition unit of a hearing aid of a user, wherein the hearing aid is connected to a communication device of the user, for carrying out a remote conversation between the user of the hearing aid and a conversation partner of the user. An audio signal of the conversation partner is received by the communication device for output to the user. A speaker ID is assigned to the conversation partner, wherein a number of speech samples of the conversation partner is extracted from the audio signal. The speech samples are assigned to the speaker ID and form a training data set jointly therewith. The speaker recognition unit of the hearing aid is trained using the training data set in order to recognize the conversation partner in future.
