Abstract
The present invention features systems for enhancing audio signals to correct across a spectrum of frequencies according to a model of the spectral characteristics of hearing loss. The methods of the present invention estimate hearing loss using a linear function of the critical band center frequency. The systems of the present invention compute a user-determined degree of correction to sounds at varying frequencies, allowing a listener to hear sounds, across varying frequencies, as the listener wishes to hear them without needing to raise the volume of the sounds to potentially damaging levels. Systems may be incorporated into apparatuses including but not limited to personal communications devices, virtual audio ports/channels and media players.
