Abstract
A method comprises determining, based on signals from sensors of hearing instruments, current values of context parameters; determining, based on the current values of the context parameters, that a current context of the hearing instruments has changed or is likely to change from a first to a second context of a plurality of contexts, wherein each of the contexts corresponds to a different unique combination of potential values of the context parameters; updating statistics of the contexts, wherein for each of the contexts, the statistics of the context include statistics with respect to time the hearing instruments spent in the context; and based on the determination that the current context of the hearing instruments has changed or is likely to change from the first context to the second context, initiating, based on the statistics of at least one of the first or second contexts, one or more actions.
