Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to a method for user-administered adaptation/acclimatization to the use of a hearing aid, which hearing aid is provided with a user-operable volume control and means for setting an adaptation mode of the hearing aid comprising at least a non-adapted mode and a fully adapted mode, according to which method, when choosing the non-adapted mode, the insertion gain of the hearing aid depends on the frequency (f<sub>A</sub>) and on the setting (Vol) of the user-operable volume control in such a manner that a given change (ΔVol) of the setting of the volume control results in a change of insertion gain (ΔINSG(f<sub>A</sub>, HL)) at one or more of said given frequencies (f<sub>A</sub>) that is a function (F(f<sub>A</sub>, HL) of the hearing loss at each respective of said frequencies (f<sub>A</sub>) when said hearing loss is at or above a given level (dBHL) at that specific frequency (f<sub>A</sub>). The invention further relates to a hearing aid configured to implement the method of the invention.
