ABSTRACT:
An audio compensation system (20) for producing a sound compensated output signal (So). The system comprises a volume control circuit (24) for producing a volume-adjusted signal (Sic) by applying a volume adjustment to an audio signal in response to a volume setting, wherein the sound compensated output signal is responsive to the volume-adjusted signal. The system also comprises circuitry (26, 30, 32) for producing an amplified signal (Sifa) by amplifying a selected bandwith of signals in response to the volume setting. The sound compensated output signal is also responsive to the amplified signal.
