1. A method to adjust audio amplification in a communication device, the method comprising:

  • obtaining a request from a user regarding adjusting settings of audio output by the communication device;

    in response to obtaining the request, presenting an audio configuration interface on a display of the communication device, the audio configuration interface including a visual depiction of a plurality of amplification settings that each correspond to a different one of a plurality of frequencies, the plurality of amplification settings indicating amplifications applied to the plurality of frequencies of the audio output by the communication device;

    obtaining an action from the user to adjust the amplification of one or more of the plurality of amplification settings in the audio configuration interface to generate adjusted amplification settings;

    in response to obtaining the action,automatically applying the adjusted amplification settings to test audio, the test audio including a female voice and a male voice;

    in response to applying the adjusted amplification settings, automatically outputting the test audio with the applied adjusted amplification settings through a speaker of the communication device, wherein no other audio configured to allow a user of the communication device to aurally assess the plurality of amplification settings is output by the communication device after obtaining the request and before outputting the test audio with the applied adjusted amplification settings;

    while outputting the test audio with the applied adjusted amplification settings, obtaining a second action from the user to adjust the amplification of one or more of the plurality of amplification settings in the audio configuration interface to generate second adjusted amplification settings;

    automatically applying the second adjusted amplification settings to the test audio; and

    in response to automatically applying the second adjusted amplification settings to the test audio, un-applying the adjusted amplification settings to the test audio.
