Device for the adaptation of programmable hearing aids

An adaptation device employing a fuzzy logic system enables an optimum adaptation of programmable hearing aids according to the individual, audiometric data of the hearing impairment with a meaningfully adapted setting of the hearing aid parameters taking rules predetermined and tested by the hearing aid manufacturer into consideration, while also considering the characteristic data associated with the hearing aid. The adaptation device is a data processing unit with a fuzzy logic module whose arithmetic unit processes the hearing impairment data and the characteristic data, which can be entered and/or retrieved from a storage unit, according to the principles of fuzzy logic, and using processing rules from at least one rule storage unit.
