METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CUSTOMIZING AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR A USER
First Claim
1. A method for customizing audio data processing, the method comprising:
- receiving audio data through a wireless communication channel from an external device;
decoding the received audio data;
reducing noise of the decoded audio data;
identifying hearing characteristics of a user by testing hearing abilities of the user at a plurality of frequency bands;
adjusting a dynamic range of each of the plurality of frequency bands based on the hearing characteristics;
processing the noise-reduced audio data based on the adjusted dynamic range of each of the plurality of frequency bands; and
outputting the processed audio data.
