AUTOMATICALLY INFORMING A USER ABOUT A CURRENT HEARING BENEFIT WITH A HEARING DEVICE

A method for informing a user of a hearing device (12) about a current hearing benefit with the hearing device (12) is disclosed. The method is performed by a hearing system (10) comprising the hearing device (12), which is worn by the user. The method comprises: acquiring a sound signal (20) with a microphone (14) of the hearing device (12), processing the acquired sound signal (20) with the hearing device (12) via a current audio processing profile (28) and outputting the processed sound signal (22) to the user; detecting a presence of a sound object (30) in the sound signal (20); when the presence of a sound object (30) is detected, estimating at least one current attribute value (32) for the current audio processing profile (28) and a corresponding reference attribute value (32') for a reference audio processing profile (28'), the current attribute value (32) being indicative of a perception by the user of the sound object (30) in the processed sound signal (22), and the reference attribute value (32') being indicative of a perception by the user of the sound object (30) in the acquired unmodified sound signal (20) or the acquired sound signal being processed with the reference audio processing profile (28'); and notifying the user, when a deviation (34) between the current attribute value (32) and the reference attribute value (32') exceeds a corresponding predefined threshold.
