A method adapts a hearing device. The hearing apparatus has a signal processing unit for processing an electrical input signal into an electrical output signal and a receiver for outputting an acoustic output signal based on the electrical output signal. Furthermore, the hearing apparatus has an individual sound transmission element with a frequency-dependent individual amplification profile for transmitting the acoustic output signal. The individual amplification profile is determined on the basis of a reference transfer function. The measured individual amplification profile is subsequently compared with a reference amplification profile of a reference sound transmission element, and the reference transfer function is adapted based on a difference between the individual amplification profile and the reference amplification profile.

Method of adapting a hearing apparatus

A method for characterizing a receiver in a hearing device. The receiver has a response behavior. The receiver converts an electrical audio signal into a sound signal, generating a magnetic field. The magnetic field is measured by a magnetic field sensor. The receiver is then characterized by determining the response behavior of the receiver based on the measured magnetic field. There is also described a hearing device and a test apparatus for a hearing device.
