Abstract: An exemplary hearing device is configured to be fit for a user. The hearing device maintains data representative of a first and a second fitting strategy for the hearing device, the first and the second fitting strategy comprising a first and a second set of values, respectively, for a plurality of parameters that specify an operation of the hearing device. The hearing device receives a value for a mixing setting that specifies a weighting between the first and the second fitting strategy. The hearing device determines, based on the value for the mixing setting, a custom fitting strategy comprising a custom set of values for the plurality of parameters, the custom set of values including combinations of the first and second sets of values that are weighted in accordance with the value for the mixing setting. The hearing device bases outputting of a signal on the custom fitting strategy.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for determining hearing device features which are useful to an individual user of a hearing device (1). According to the proposed method a received input sound signal is automatically classified according to N sound classes. An overall usage quantity is then determined for each sound class from logged usage quantities of each sound class. Useful hearing device features are then determined, which are suitable for processing an input sound signal associated with sound classes having an overall usage quantity that exceeds a minimum overall usage quantity. Subsequently, providing the determined useful hearing device features in the hearing device (1) is suggested to the fitter and/or user of the hearing device (1). In a further aspect of the present invention a hearing device (1) with a classifier (7) and a logging unit (10) adapted to log usage quantities for identified sound classes is provided.
