    Abstract: A hearing aid service system includes an Internet enabled personal communication device and one or more hearing aids provided with respective transceivers for establishing a wireless connection, whereby the personal communication device becomes a gateway for the hearing aids to a remote server. Each hearing aid includes a processor controlling the operation of the hearing aid, and a memory containing program code for at least one add-on program for the operation of the hearing aid. The server manages user accounts for a plurality of hearing aid users, including managing subscription status for the add-on program. The server creates a subscription status change event for the account upon change of the subscription status for the at least one add-on program and sends a status change instruction to the hearing aids for enabling or disabling one or more of the add-on programs by using the communication device as gateway.

    Abstract: A method of personalizing at least one hearing aid for a hearing aid user includes the steps of manufacturing a hearing aid (1), receiving an audiogram from a server (37) for the hearing aid user, programming the hearing aid (1) by means of the audiogram, whereby the hearing aid (1) becomes personalized for the hearing aid user. Hereafter, the personalized hearing aid(s) (1) is/are delivered to the hearing aid user who may then put it into use. If there arises a need for fine tuning, the hearing aid user may request a consultation with a hearing healthcare professional. The hearing healthcare professional has equipment (44, 45) for fine tuning the hearing aid (1), and he may fine tune the personalized hearing aid(s) (1) in dialogue with the hearing aid user. The invention further provides a hearing aid delivering system and an Internet enabled personal communication device.
