FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of compensating for hearing loss in a telephone system and in a mobile telephone apparatus. Personalised audio signals (A) for hearing-impaired users are generated based on attributes thereof received from audiograms - frequency characteristics of the hearing of the hearing-impaired user stored in a database on the server of the communication network and linked to the telephone numbers of hearing-impaired users. A is processed on the server in a broadband frequency range based on attributes of the hearing of the hearing-impaired user, the power of the processed audio signals is adjusted according to the attributes of the hearing-impaired user, and the adjusted personalised audio signals are transmitted from the communication server to the telephone apparatus of the hearing-impaired users. The communication network used is a cellular network, and the telephone apparatus used is a mobile telephone apparatus (MTA). A mode which combines the functions of a mobile telephone and a hearing device is implemented.
EFFECT: combining a function of a telephone with a function of a hearing apparatus, improved speech audibility for a hearing-impaired user and in mobile switching to a telephone conversation.
