Hearing aid with time-varying performance
Abstract
A hearing aid that compensates for a patient's hearing deficit in a gradually progressing fashion. The hearing aid may be programmed to successively select in a defined sequence a parameter set that defines at least one operating characteristic of the signal processing circuit from a group of such parameter sets. The defined sequence may end in a parameter set that optimally compensates the patient's hearing.
