System og fremgangsmåde til konfigurering af et høreapparat

The invention relates to a system and a method for configuring a hearing device by means of an external configuration unit, the hearing device comprising a microphone, an A/D-converter, a processing unit with a memory, a D/A-converter and a receiver, the external configuration unit (101) comprising a programming host (108), an external processing unit (104'), an interface (109) and a playing device (112), the method comprising the steps of: a) processing a sound recording from the playing device (112) with a parameter setting (105') externally, b) feeding the processed sound recording to the receiver (107) of the hearing device (100) via the interface (109) and the D/A-converter (106), c) emitting the processed sound recording through the receiver (107), d) repeating steps a) to c) with varying parameter settings until a match between the quality of the signal and the requirements of the user (111) is reached, e) transmitting and storing the chosen parameter setting in the memory (117) of the hearing device (100).
