Abstract: Method for setting parameters for individual adaptation of an audio signal, including: performing a first listening test with the substeps: playing a plurality of first audio signals having different levels; obtaining feedback per frequency range from an individual which of the plurality of first acoustic signals is above an individual listening threshold; and using the lowest level of the different levels for which feedback is available as a level for the individual listening threshold per frequency range; performing adaptation of a second audio signal with the substeps: playing the second audio signal according to a total volume level considering a sound adaptation characteristic map; and varying the sound adaptation characteristic wherein the levels for the individual listening thresholds are used as minimum output levels in the sound adaptation characteristic map.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a dynamic compressor of a hearing aid includes a combination signal analyzer for determining the binaural similarity of a left and right audio signal and an amplification adjuster for providing an amplification value for a band of the left or right audio signal in dependence on the binaural similarity and a level of the left or right audio signal in the band.
