Generating Customized Audio

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium retaining program instructions, which program instructions when read by a processor, cause the processor to:

• capture an audio signal from an audio source;
• process the audio signal based on a population segment, said process comprises:
• obtain a target speech rate for the population segment, the target speech rate is a rate of speech that is deemed suitable to estimated hearing capabilities of members of the population segment;
• and
• adjust the audio signal according to the target speech rate for the population segment, thereby obtaining an adjusted audio signal that matches the hearing capabilities of the population segment;
• and
• provide the adjusted audio signal to an end device to be served to a user, wherein the population segment comprises the user, the user is using the end device to consume audio.
