The present invention proposes a method for determining hearing device features which are useful to an individual user of a hearing device (). According to the proposed method a received input sound signal is automatically classified according to N sound classes. An overall usage quantity is then determined for each sound class from logged usage quantities of each sound class. Useful hearing device features are then determined, which are suitable for processing an input sound signal associated with sound classes having an overall usage quantity that exceeds a minimum overall usage quantity. Subsequently, providing the determined useful hearing device features in the hearing device () is suggested to the fitter and/or user of the hearing device (). In a further aspect of the present invention a hearing device () with a classifier () and a logging unit () adapted to log usage quantities for identified sound classes is provided.
