Automatic sound equalization device

A system for determining one or more equalization parameters, the system comprising:

• at least one speaker configured to reproduce an audio sample;
• one or more electrodes configured to acquire complex auditory brainstem response (cABR) data associated with the audio sample;
• and
• a processor coupled to the at least one speaker and the one or more electrodes and configured to:
• compare the cABR data to one or more wavelets associated with the audio sample to determine at least one measure of similarity;
• and
• determine the one or more equalization parameters based on the at least one measure of similarity.

A method for determining one or more equalization parameters, the method comprising:

• acquiring, via one or more electrodes, auditory brainstem response (ABR) data associated with a first audio sample;
• determining, via a processor, one or more equalization parameters based on the ABR data;
• reproducing a second audio sample based on the one or more equalization parameters;
• acquiring, via the one or more electrodes, complex auditory brainstem response (cABR) data associated with the second audio sample;
• comparing, via the processor, the cABR data to at least one representation of the second audio sample to determine at least one measure of similarity;
• and
• modifying the one or more equalization parameters based on the at least one measure of similarity.
