Abstract
A method operates a hearing aid for a user. A neuronal signal of the user is measured in the method and a listening effort of the user is determined therefrom. Both an intensity of the listening effort and a hearing direction are determined from the neuronal signal. The intensity and the hearing direction form a hearing vector. A mode of operation of the hearing aid is adapted or set depending on the hearing direction, for the purposes of reducing the intensity of the listening effort.
