Abstract
A hearing system includes a hearing aid () and personal communication device () connected via a short range data communication link. The hearing aid () has a signal processor () processing an audio signal according to audio processing parameters, a sub-system applying respective sets of processing parameters for at least two modes, a classifier component () statistically analyzing the environment by comparing specific characteristics of an electrical input signal to one or more thresholds. A program selector component () selects automatically an appropriate mode for the signal processing sub-system according to the classifier output. The personal communication device () offers the user an interface for controlling and interacting with the program selector component () of the hearing aid (), and for generating and transmitting a notification to the hearing aid (). Upon reception of the notification, the processor () adjusts at least one of the one or more thresholds used by the classifier component ().
