This paper proposes the development of a hearing loss simulation for use in audio mix referencing, designed according to psychoacoustic and audiology research findings. The simulation proposed in this paper aims to reproduce four perceptual aspects of hearing loss; threshold elevation, loss of dynamic range, reduced frequency and temporal resolution, while providing an audio input/output functionality.
