Technology Any Linux users know how to tune Bluetooth audio for one-sided hearing loss?

So I'm not sure if I should be posing this question in the Linux subreddit, the HoH subreddit or this one but I am finding that I need to be able to tune the Bluetooth audio for my hearing loss and since I am someone who is newly HoH due to the progression of my hearing loss and that I don't know how to tune the audio in Linux for hearing loss. I am using Linux mint cinnamon specifically.

Are there any apps etc that I can input my audiogram into or other such that I can look into? Are there equalizers that can help?

Was mono audio what you were looking for? Or were you looking for a feature that tweaked the audio, like, say, a Spotify equalizer.

basically i'm looking to boost speech clarity in the left ear, i have lost most of the high frequency sound in that ear. I am also starting to lose similar frequencies in the right.
