Abstract
There is provided a hearing device to be worn by a user for stimulating the user's hearing, comprising an interface () for wireless communication with external devices (), and a pairing control unit () for controlling pairing of the hearing device with external devices. The pairing control unit is configured to maintain a plurality of pairing tables (P, P), wherein each pairing table is configured to persistently store a limited number of pairing information entries for external devices paired with hearing device, and wherein, once the maximum number of external devices has been reached, one of the existing entries is overwritten when a new pairing information entry is to be stored in the paring table. The pairing control unit is further configured to decide in which one of the pairing tables a new pairing information entry is to be persistently stored, the decision being based on target pairing table selection information provided to the pairing control unit during the pairing process.
