Abstract
A system including one or more hearing instruments configured to be worn in, on, or about an ear of a user. The system is configured to: determine that the user may prefer either of a first or a second processing mode; apply the first processing mode and the second processing mode to generate a first output audio signal and a second output audio signal; cause one or more hearing instruments to output sound based on the first output audio signal or the second output audio signal; receive an indication of user input that identifies a selected output audio signal from among the first output audio signal and the second output audio signal; and apply a selected processing mode corresponding to the selected output audio signal to generate a third output audio signal; and cause the one or more hearing instruments to output sound based on the third output audio signal.
