Abstract
Personal sound amplifiers(PSAPs) provide accessible and affordable healthcare to individuals with hearing disability. Many studies are in progress for affordable PSAP development, but still people do not have a best fitting profile for the PSAP depending on their hearing test. As a result, they do not have a personalized and profiled music and sound, which are very helpful for those who has hearing problems. In this paper, we propose a device and mobile system to provide music with an equalizer value according to the hearing condition of an individual to prevent the hearing loss. In order to overcome the limit of frequency band of the equalizer in a smart phone, we developed bluetooth controlled equalizer based on the fitting profiles.
