Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory storage medium comprising program code that, when executed by a processor, adjusts the clarity of an audio output in a changing environment, the program code comprising the steps of:
receiving a content signal;
applying a customized gain to the content signal; and
outputting the content signal with the customized gain to at least one speaker for transduction to an acoustic signal, wherein the customized gain is based on a dynamic range compression applied on a per frequency bin basis such that, at least, frequency bins having magnitudes less than a respective predetermined threshold are enhanced and that an intelligibility of the acoustic signal is set approximately at a desired level, wherein the customized gain is determined according to a mapping that relates the customized gain to at least one of a gain applied to the content signal, a bandwidth of the content signal, or a content type encoded by the content signal.
