Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for accessing, transmitting and storing a client'"'"'s hearing profile on a network, which results in the creation of an audio font that is customized to the client'"'"'s hearing preferences. In turn, the client'"'"'s audio font may be accessed by the client and transmitted to a client'"'"'s selected digital audio device via a network connection, which attenuates the sound drivers of the digital audio device to properly filter and adjust audio output in a manner that best enhances the sound quality to the client'"'"'s needs and preferences. The invention allows the client to customize the sounds emitted from digital audio devices by providing audio preference feedback which modifies the selected audio font to more accurately represent the audio preferences of the client.
