Abstract: A method and apparatus for setting a characteristic of a source hearing device on target hearing device are provided. A transformation database is created. A source hearing device including the setting of the source hearing device are identified, the characteristic of setting is to be set on the target hearing device. The setting which, according to the transformation database on the target hearing device, results in the characteristic corresponding to the characteristic of the identified source hearing device is recalled. The target hearing device is set using the recalled setting. Settings are stored in the transformation database during their creation, which have to be set to hearing devices of different types to be set in order to grant these hearing devices the characteristic of other identified hearing with identified settings.

Abstract: The aim is to simplify resource planning in a clinic or by a hearing aid technician. For this purpose, an audiometer and a method for operating an audiometer are proposed in which, following a simple hearing test, in addition to information as to whether treatment of a user with a hearing aid is necessary, the presence of any hearing-loss class in which the user can be grouped is also shown. In this way, the expense with regard to time, materials and personnel required for matching a hearing aid to a particular user can be more easily estimated.
