Abstract
An audio system includes one or more acoustic sensors capturing audio from a local area surrounding the audio system and one or more additional sensors capturing data describing the local area. An audio controller in the audio system identifies interactions by a user based on the captured audio and the data describing the local area. The audio controller determines attributes associated with each interaction, such as metrics describing speaking by the user, metrics describing requests for clarification by the user, and metrics based on a topic determined from audio captured by the user. Based on the interactions and associated attributes, the audio controller estimates a sound profile for the user that identifies ranges of frequencies where the user has hearing loss. The audio controller may leverage the sound profile to determine one or more filters to offset hearing loss of the user.
