Abstract
The application relates to a method of fitting a hearing device to a user, the method comprising a) Defining a user as a first time user; b) Selecting a processing algorithm to have special first time user settings; c) Defining prescribed settings for the user; d) Defining special first time user settings for said processing algorithm; e) Defining a scheme for adapting said special first time user settings to said prescribed settings over time. The application further relates to a method of a fitting system and to a hearing device. The object of the present application is to provide an alternative fitting scheme for a first time user of a hearing device. The method further provides that the processing algorithm to have special first time user settings is selected from the group comprising noise reduction algorithms, directionality algorithms, binaural compression algorithms, and a combination thereof. The method provides an alternative way of customizing a first time user of a hearing device to the usage of the hearing device. The invention may e.g. be used in hearing devices that need to be customized to a particular user's wishes.
