Abstract

Today’s, many young people suffer from noise-induced hearing loss by using wearable hearing devices, such as Bluetooth headset. This paper present hearing loss reduction and more natural volume control systems considering individual hearing characteristics for Bluetooth headset. Experimental results using CSR Bluetooth headset example design board(DEV-PC-1645, included with Kalimba-DSP) show that individuals may be able to perceive without the inconvenience at the less sound intensity and the more sensitive frequency bands. As a result, we may prevent hearing loss properly by reducing excessive sound energy in each frequency bands.
