Abstract (en)

A hearing device comparison device is disclosed which is adapted to be worn at the head of a user for comparing the audio signals provided by hearing devices adapted for generating audio signals. The hearing device comparison device comprises an output transducer, a mounting support, electric circuitry and a switch. The output transducer is adapted to be arranged in or at a user's ear and to provide audio signals perceivable as sound to the user's ear. The mounting support is adapted for mounting at least two hearing devices at or in close proximity to the user's ear. The electric circuitry is adapted to allow a connection between the hearing devices and the output transducer. The switch is adapted to allow establishing only one connection between any one of the hearing devices and the output transducer at the same time in order to allow the output transducer to receive audio signals from only one of the hearing devices.
