1. A method for determining a device parameter of a hearing device to be worn at a user, the method comprising:
obtaining image data of one or more images, the image data including first image data of a first image of an outer human ear at a first angle;
identifying, based on the first image data, a first anatomical landmark that is associated with a helix, and a second anatomical landmark of the outer human ear using a processing unit;
determining the device parameter of the hearing device, the device parameter comprising a length or a shape of a component of the hearing device, and wherein the length or the shape of the component of the hearing device is determined based on the identified first anatomical landmark that is associated with the helix, and the identified second anatomical landmark; and
outputting the device parameter.
