Abstract

A method for adjusting a hearing device (1) to individual needs of a hearing device user includes the steps of operationally connecting the hearing device (1) to a fitting device (5) with a display unit (6), displaying a hearing threshold level (22) of the hearing device user as a function of frequencies on the display unit (6), displaying characteristics of a predefined sound sample (25, 30) on the display unit (6), and adjusting the input/output behavior such that at least a part of the predefined sound sample (25, 30) lies above the hearing threshold level (22) at corresponding frequencies. An arrangement for adjusting a hearing device (1) is also provided.
