A method for providing auditory correction for a hearing-impaired individual, including extracting pitch, voicing, energy and spectrum characteristics of an input speech signal. The method also includes modifying the extracted pitch characteristic by multiplying a pitch factor times the extracted pitch characteristic, modifying the extracted voicing characteristic by multiplying a voicing factor times the extracted voicing characteristic, modifying the extracted energy characteristic by applying a compression function to the extracted energy characteristic, and modifying the extracted spectrum characteristic by applying a homothetical compression function to the extracted spectrum characteristic. Further, a speech signal is reconstituted perceptible to the hearing-impaired individual based on the modified pitch, voicing, energy and spectrum characteristics.
