Systems and methods for sound enhancement in audio systems

An audio processing system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions, which when executed cause the at least one processor to perform actions comprising:
• receiving, from one or more users, information suitable to derive an indication of a hearing ability of the one or more users;
• generating a representative indication of hearing ability for the one or more users based on the received information;
• determining calculating a set of audio processing parameters for the representative indication of hearing ability, the calculating comprising:
• determining, based on the representative indication of hearing ability, at least a first anchor indication of hearing ability and a second anchor indication of hearing ability;
• obtaining a first set of audio processing parameters and a second set of audio processing parameters, for the first and second anchor indications of hearing ability respectively;
• and
• interpolating between the first set of audio processing parameters and the second set of audio processing parameters, the interpolating based on the representative indication of hearing ability, the first anchor indication of hearing ability, and the second anchor indication of hearing ability;
• configuring a sound personalization multiband compression algorithm based on the interpolated set of audio processing parameters;
• receiving an audio signal on an entertainment system;
• processing the audio signal using the configured sound personalization multiband compression algorithm;
• and
• outputting the processed audio signal from the entertainment system.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program containing instructions which, when executed on a processor of an audio output device cause the processor to perform actions comprising:

• receiving, from one or more users, information suitable to derive an indication of a hearing ability of the one or more users;
• generating a representative indication of hearing ability for the one or more users based on the received information;
• calculating a set of audio processing parameters for the representative indication of hearing ability, the calculating comprising:
• determining, based on the representative indication of hearing ability, at least a first anchor indication of hearing ability and a second anchor indication of hearing ability;
• obtaining a first set of audio processing parameters and a second set of audio processing parameters, for the first and second anchor indications of hearing ability respectively;
• and
• interpolating between the first set of audio processing parameters and the second set of audio processing parameters, the interpolating based on the representative indication of hearing ability, the first anchor indication of hearing ability, and the second anchor indication of hearing ability;
• configuring a sound personalization multiband compression algorithm based on the interpolated set of audio processing parameters;
• receiving an audio signal on an entertainment system;
• processing the audio signal using the configured sound personalization multiband compression algorithm;
