Abstract
The present invention proposes two alternative methods for remote fitting of one or two hearing devices ('), i.e. where a hearing device fitter () located in a first room (R) provides remote support to a user () of the one or two hearing devices (′) located in a distant second room (R) in order to adjust the one or two hearing devices (′) to the individual needs of the user (). According to a first method a voice rendering signal processing is applied to the fitter's voice, thus achieving that the fitter's voice is perceived by the user () as if the user () were at a virtual user location (L) in the first room (R) wearing the one or two hearing devices (′). The same is achieved according to a second, alternative method, wherein the fitter's voice is picked up by at least one or two microphones of one or two further hearing devices located at the virtual user location (L) at a first position (P) and/or at a second position (P).
