Abstract: A hearing aid service system includes a personal communication device (13) acting as a gateway for one or more hearing aids (10, 11) to a remote server (25) accessible via the Internet. The hearing aids (10, 11) have a processor (121) monitoring electrical hearing aid parameters for detecting a change indicating a replacement of a hearing aid component (132; 140), and report the hearing aid component replacement to the remote server (25). The remote server (25) is tracking the consumption of hearing aid components for individual user accounts and identifies a priority item for sale depending on recorded consumption. The priority item for sale is displayed on the hearing aid control application software interface on the personal communication device (13). The remote server (25) completes the transaction based on data stored in the user account. The invention further provides a method for maintenance of a hearing aid.

Abstract: A hearing aid (10, 11) has a memory (123) for storing personal settings for alleviating a hearing loss for the hearing aid user.

Abstract: A hearing aid configuration managing system for configuring at least one hearing aid having a wireless connection to the Internet via a gateway. The hearing aid includes a processor controlling its configuration, and a memory containing configuration settings for customizing the configuration of the hearing aid. The remote server manages user accounts for multiple hearing aid users, including managing the configuration of the hearing aid, and creates a service level status change event for the account upon change of the service level status to a new configuration of the hearing aid. The remote server sends a configuration change instruction to the hearing aid via the gateway upon the occurrence of the service level status change event. The hearing aid processor stores new configuration settings in the hearing aid memory upon reception of the configuration change instruction, and changes the hearing aid to the new configuration.

Abstract: A system, method, hearing aid and software for providing a network connection for a computer device to at least one hearing aid having a gateway to the Internet.
