1. A method for fitting a hearing assistance device comprising:
receiving values for an output related parameter and associated frequencies that define the output related parameter as a function of frequency for the hearing assistance device; receiving output values and associated input values to define output as a function of input for the hearing assistance device; generating on a display a three-dimensional representation of the hearing assistance device in an auditory space defined by the output related parameter, the frequency, and the input; receiving data correlated to a user of the hearing assistance device, and generating a three-dimensional target in terms of the output related parameter, the frequency, and the input; presenting the three dimensional target on the same display as the three-dimensional representation of the hearing assistance device; providing a plurality of movable sliders representing parameters related to the output related parameter, the associated frequencies, and the input such that changes to the three-dimensional representation are reflected in the sliders and changes to the sliders are reflected in the three-dimensional representation; and producing a set of parameters defining an auditory space of the hearing assistance device by adjustments to a three-dimensional representation of the hearing assistance device to match at least some portion of the three-dimensional target or by adjustments to the settings of the sliders and further wherein changes to the three-dimensional representation of the hearing assistance device are reflected in settings of one or more sliders and wherein changes in the settings of the sliders are reflected in the three-dimensional representation.
