Original Abstract Submitted
there is provided a method of self-fitting of a binaural hearing system worn by a user. the method comprises: implementing a present fitting configuration in the binaural hearing system; generating a spatialized binaural audio signal representative of a virtual auditory scene including at least a first audio source at a given angular position relative to the user; reproducing the spatialized binaural audio signal via the binaural hearing system to the user; instructing the user to turn the user's head towards the first audio source; measuring the respective head movement of the user via at least one motion sensor; estimating from the measured head movement the user's ability of spatial sound identification with the present fitting configuration of the binaural hearing system; and maintaining or modifying the present fitting configuration based on the estimated user's ability of spatial sound identification.
