Apple Introduces Hearing Aid Features in AirPods Pro 2
Apple has unveiled new hearing aid functionalities for its AirPods Pro 2, following the FDA's 2022 ruling allowing over-the-counter hearing aid sales. This feature enables users to conduct hearing tests at home, assessing their hearing range through a series of tones. The test, which takes about five minutes, is designed for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. Results are generated quickly, and users can activate Media Assist to enhance speech clarity. While the technology improves daily life, social perceptions of wearing AirPods during conversations may pose challenges.
