ABSTRACT:
Hearing improvement device, auditory prosthesis, hearing aid, fitting device for these apparatus and method of fitting or determining new auditory characteristic by selecting and applying a vector consisting of relative changes to a plurality of individual ones of a set of acoustic parameters which determine the auditory characteristic of such apparatus. The method involves selecting a proper vector, applying the relative changes to the individual acoustic characteristics and, if necessary, utilizing or storing these new values of acoustic characteristics to obtain a new auditory characteristic for such apparatus.
