Abstract

Described are techniques for audio processing. For instance, a process can include obtaining a first set of digital signal processing (DSP) parameters associated with a first hearing profile and a second set of DSP parameters associated with a second hearing profile different than the first hearing profile. One or more differentially processed audio samples can be output, each including a first audio output signal generated by processing a first audio signal using the first set of DSP parameters and a second audio output signal generated by processing a second audio signal using the second set of DSP parameters. For each differentially processed audio sample, a user input can be obtained indicative of the first or second audio output signal having a lower audio quality. One or more user hearing thresholds can be determined based on the respective user input obtained for each respective differentially processed audio sample.
