Abstract

A method of adjusting audio characteristics of a mobile radio communications device, comprising an audiometric testing process, wherein tones at a selection of frequencies within the range of the audio bandwidth of the mobile radio communication device are presented to the user, the rpesentation of tones being such that the amplitude of the tone is altered until the user indicates by an input means that the user can bareley perceive the tone, and a frequency dependent means of amplitude adjustment adjusting the audio characteristics of the mobile radio communications device, based on the user indicated amplitude, for any or all of the plurality of tones. A mobile radio communications device is also provided. The benefit of the present invention is in the provision of access to mobile telephony for those with impaired hearing, improving the intelligibility and apparent quality of the communication experience.
