A hearing aid and appertaining method of adjustment permit adjusting a hearing aid more conveniently and more specifically. For this purpose, parameters for real hearing situations are stored in a storage device in the hearing aid or in the remote control for an adjustment procedure by the hearing aid wearer him- or herself. These hearing examples are then reproduced to the hearing aid wearer for the adjustment procedure. The hearing aid wearer therefore does not have to wait for a corresponding hearing situation in his surrounding area for the adjustment process and can repeat the adjustment process as required.
