Abstract

A method for wirelessly adjusting one or more hearing devices (1, ..., 3) with a central unit (4) is presented, the method comprising the steps of:
- establishing a wireless network (6) wirelessly connecting the central unit (4) to hearing devices (1, ..., 3), which are responsive to said wireless network (6),
- detecting said hearing devices (1, ..., 3),
- identifying one or more of the detected hearing devices (1, ..., 3,
- selecting one or more of the identified hearing devices (1, ..., 3),
- establishing a wireless link from the central unit (4) to at least one of the identified hearing devices (1, ..., 3), and
- adjusting the at least one identified hearing device (1, ..., 3).
Therewith, an audiologist is able to unambiguously assign one or two hearing devices (1, ..., 3) in a fitting session, even if multiple hearing devices are within the range of the wireless network (6) or wireless transmitter, respectively.
