1. A method for operating a hearing aid having a time measuring unit with a first timer and a second timer, which comprises the steps of:
switching the hearing aid between a usage state, in which a signal processing unit of the hearing aid is activated, and an idle state, in which the signal processing unit is deactivated;
activating the first timer in the usage state and deactivating the first timer in the idle state for a time measurement during the usage state;
activating the second timer in the idle state for a time measurement during the idle state; and
determining a continuous time measurement by the time measuring unit updating a hearing aid time in the usage state using the first timer and in the idle state using the second timer.
