    Abstract: An adapter configured to connect to a probe tube for calibrating a hearing aid device is disclosed. The adapter comprises a tubular pipe member and an opening through which the adapter is adapted to receive the probe tube. The adapter comprises an input member configured to connect to a connection member for providing fluid communication between the probe tube and the connection member through the adapter. An outer diameter of the probe tube is 5-20%, preferably 8-15% smaller than an inner diameter of the cylindrical space of the pipe member and that length of the cylindrical space of the pipe member is at least five times, preferably at least ten times larger than the outer diameter of the probe tube. Hereby it is achieved that a long narrow gab can be provided between probe tube and the pipe member of the adapter so that a sufficient acoustic seal can be accomplished.

    Abstract: A hearing aid comprises a) an ITE-part adapted for being located at or in an ear canal of the user, b) a forward path for processing sound from the environment of the user. The forward path comprises b1) at least one first input transducer providing at least one first electric input signal representing said sound as received at the respective at least one first microphone, said at least one first input transducer being located to allow picking up sound from the environment of the user, b2) an audio signal processor comprising a gain unit for applying a frequency and/or level dependent prescribed gain to compensate for a hearing impairment of the user to said at least one first electric input signal, or a signal or signals originating therefrom, and configured to provide a processed signal in dependence thereof, b3) an output transducer for providing stimuli perceivable as sound to the user in dependence of said processed signal. The hearing aid further comprises c) at least one second input transducer providing at least one second electric input signal representing said sound as received at the at least one second input transducer, the at least one second input transducer being located in said ITE-part to pick up sound at the eardrum of the user, d) a correlator configured to determine a correlation measure between the at least one second electric input signal, or a signal originating therefrom, and a signal of the forward path and e) a gain modifier configured to modify said gain of the gain unit in dependence of said correlation measure. A method of operating a hearing aid is further disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of estimating a real-ear-to-coupler-difference (RECD) in a hearing is provided. The hearing aid comprises an input transducer; an output transducer; and an ITE-part configured to define a residual volume when mounted in an ear canal of a user. The method comprises providing an earpiece configured to fit tightly to walls of an ear canal of the user and to provide said residual volume; that the earpiece comprises at least one ventilation channel or opening; a sound outlet allowing sound from said output transducer to be played into said residual volume; characteristics of the at least one ventilation channel or opening; a frequency dependent feedback path estimate from said output transducer to said input transducer through said ventilation channel or opening; and estimating a low-frequency and high frequency RECD values in dependence said feedback path estimate; and determining estimated frequency dependent RECD values in dependence of said estimated low-frequency RECD value, and said estimated high-frequency RECD value.
