Abstract: A consumer electronics device is arranged for outputting a hearing loss compensated signal. The consumer electronics device comprises an operating system whereon at least one application can be run that yields a sound output signal. Wherein the consumer electronics device further comprises: a first software module adapted for rerouting the sound output signal, and a second software module adapted for receiving from the first software module the rerouted sound output signal, for performing hearing loss compensation on the rerouted sound output signal and for outputting the hearing loss compensated signal.
