Abstract
A method for operating a hearing aid system. The hearing aid system includes a hearing aid with at least one input transducer, an output transducer, and a motion sensor. The movement of a hearing aid system user is captured as movement data of the motion sensor. A probability for a future fall or trip event on the part of the hearing aid system user is determined on the basis of the captured movement data. A perceptible warning signal is generated when the probability reaches or exceeds a stored threshold value.
