Adaptive hearing health control

A system for controlling a sound dose of a listener, wherein the sound dose describes a sliding average of a current sound pressure squared over a dose period, the system comprising:

• a cloud server operatively connected to a remote storage configured to store a plurality of audio profiles, each comprising sound pressure data and a hearing profile associated with specific users of the system,
• one or more audio playback arrangements comprising a transducer, a controller, and a microphone arranged to measure a current sound pressure experienced by the listener, wherein said one or more audio playback arrangements are operatively connected to the cloud server and configured to determine an identity of the listener, and the system is configured to associate said identity with a specific user (of the system,
• the cloud server and/or the controller of said one or more audio playback arrangements comprises controlling circuitry configured to cause:
• obtaining of an audio profile comprising sound pressure data and a hearing profile for the listener,
• obtaining of a current sound pressure experienced by the listener,
• based on the sound pressure data, the hearing profile of the listener and the current sound pressure, estimating of a current estimated time period describing an estimated time until the sound dose of the listener exceeds a sound dose threshold associated with the dose period, by frequency weighting the current sound pressure based on the hearing profile of the listener,
• responsive to the current estimated time period being below a dose period associated with the sound dose threshold:
• based on the sound pressure data and the current sound pressure, calculating of an updated sound pressure, for which a current updated time period, describing an estimated time until the sound dose of the listener exceeds the sound dose threshold, meets or exceeds the dose period, and
• providing of instructions for controlling the current sound pressure to meet the updated sound pressure.
