1. A method of fitting a hearing device for a hearing device user, the hearing device including:
a) at least one input transducer for picking up an acoustic signal and converting the acoustic signal into an input signal;
b) a signal processing device for receiving the input signal and subjecting the input signal to signal processing and generating an output signal; and
c) an output transducer for converting the output signal into a sound signal; and
the method comprising:
setting or adapting the signal processing of the signal processing device in dependence on an ototoxic hearing loss of the hearing device user, and
during a treatment of the hearing device user with an ototoxic substance:
in an observation step, detecting and storing at least one treatment parameter;
in a forecast step, forecasting an ototoxic hearing loss on a basis of the stored treatment parameter; and
in a fitting step, setting or adapting a signal amplification in dependence on a forecasted ototoxic hearing loss.
