1. A method performed by a hearing system having a hearing device, the hearing device comprising an acoustic output transducer, a first acoustic input transducer, a second acoustic input transducer, a first wireless communications unit, and a processing unit, the method comprising:
obtaining a first acoustic signal by the first acoustic input transducer, and generating a compensated output signal based on the first acoustic signal, wherein the compensated output signal is based on current hearing compensation data;
performing a fitting procedure by: obtaining first hearing compensation data, emitting an otoacoustic stimulation signal via the acoustic output transducer, and obtaining a second acoustic signal by the second acoustic input transducer; and
performing a monitoring procedure if the second acoustic signal or data based on the second acoustic signal satisfies a first criterion, wherein the monitoring procedure is performed by:
emitting another otoacoustic stimulation signal via the acoustic output transducer, and obtaining a third acoustic signal by the second acoustic input transducer;
determining whether the third acoustic signal or data based on the third acoustic signal satisfies the first criterion;
determining a deviation value based on the second acoustic signal and the third acoustic signal if the third acoustic signal or the data based on the third acoustic signal satisfies the first criterion; and
in accordance with the deviation value satisfying a second criterion, outputting a first notification signal, the second criterion being different from the first criterion.
