Apple has announced that its new 'Hearing Health' feature for AirPods Pro 2 will only be available in the United States and Canada, coinciding with the iOS 18.1 update. This feature, which allows users to turn their AirPods into hearing aids, has received regulatory approval in these regions. The update includes tools like 'Hearing Test' and 'Hearing Protection' at no additional cost to AirPods Pro 2 users. Apple's decision to limit the feature's availability is based on current regulatory compliance, with expectations for broader access in the future.
