AirPods Pro 2 get hearing aid feature
There aren’t any new AirPods Pro, but Apple did announce new health-focused features for the second generation model that includes a hearing aid mode.
The AirPods lineup was updated with a new fourth generation model, new AirPods Max, but the AirPods Pro weren’t left out. Apple announced a software update that will add several hearing health-focused features to the existing AirPods Pro 2.
A new hearing test takes about five minutes and will help adjust audio output based on the user’s results. This plays into the new hearing aid feature, which Apple calls “clinical grade” for moderate hearing loss.
FDA approval is pending, so the feature will roll out later in the fall. Only the AirPods Pro 2 will get the feature.
