Abstract
An exemplary hearing device configured to be worn by a user includes an accelerometer configured to output accelerometer data representative of an acceleration of the hearing device and a processor configured to maintain data representative of a walking detection algorithm, determine an optimized parameter for the user for use with the walking detection algorithm, and apply, in accordance with the optimized parameter, the walking detection algorithm to the accelerometer data to determine a walking state of the user while the user wears the hearing device.
