determining, by the processing system, a first impairment associated with a first user of the first end user device and a second impairment associated with a second user of the second end user device;
determining, by the processing system, a degree of impairment for the second impairment;
receiving, by the processing system, a first user input captured at the first end user device and a second user input captured at the second end user device during the communication session;
selecting, by the processing system, a selected adjustment technique from among the first adjustment techniques according to the degree of impairment for the second impairment;
accessing, by the processing system, an impairment profile for the first user, wherein the impairment profile includes an audiogram for the first user, and wherein the selective frequencies that are amplified are selected based on the audiogram;
adjusting, by the processing system, the second user input according to the impairment profile to generate adjusted second user output;
adjusting, by the processing system, the first user input according to the impairment profile and then applying the selected adjustment technique to generate adjusted synthesized audio speech as adjusted first user output; and
providing, by the processing system, the adjusted first user output to the second end user device and the adjusted second user output to the first end user device during the communication session.
