Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for modifying an audio signal using custom psychoacoustic models. A user's hearing profile is first obtained. Subsequently, an audio processing function is parameterized so as to optimize the user's perceptually relevant information. The method for calculating the user's perceptually relevant information comprises first processing audio signal samples using the parameterized processing function and then transforming samples of the processed audio signals into the frequency domain. Next, masking and hearing thresholds are obtained from the user's hearing profile and applied to the transformed audio sample, wherein the user's perceived data is calculated. Once perceptually relevant information is optimized, the resulting parameters are transferred to the audio processing function and an output audio signal is processed.

Claim (Index 20):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions which when executed by a processor of an audio processing device, causes the processor to:\n determine one or more parameters of the processing function based on an optimization of perceptually relevant information for the audio signal; parameterize the processing function with the one or more parameters; and process the audio signal by applying the processing function, wherein calculation of the perceptually relevant information for the audio signal is based on an individual hearing profile for a given listener, the individual hearing profile comprising masking thresholds and hearing thresholds for the given listener.
