Claim 8:
9. A method for balancing audio provided to a user, comprising:
detecting selection of an interactive application for interaction by the user, the interactive application generating the audio for providing to the user;
dynamically conducting an aural test to determine aural attributes of each ear of the user, responsive to the selection of the interactive application, the aural attributes of said each ear of the user stored in a user profile of the user;
analyzing the aural attributes of each ear to detect an aural imbalance between two ears of the user;
dynamically calibrating the audio of the interactive application provided to the user to generate a calibrated audio, based on the aural imbalance detected between the two ears of the user; and
forwarding the audio generated by the interactive application to a first side of a headphone toward a first ear of the user and the calibrated audio to a second side of the headphone directed toward a second ear of the user, the headphone used by the user to hear the audio, the calibrated audio directed to the second ear compensates for the aural imbalance detected between the two ears of the user so as to allow the user to accurately hear the audio,
wherein operations of the method are performed by a processor of a system.
