1. A method, comprising:
at a hearing device worn by a user, obtaining inner ear responses evoked by measurement stimulation signals at a sampling period of time;
comparing the inner ear responses to baseline responses determined at an initial period of time, different from the sampling period of time;
objectively identifying, based on comparing the inner ear responses to the baseline responses, a sound perception change of the user; and
adjusting operation of the hearing device to address the sound perception change of the user.
