Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 headphones include new hearing health features that I tested, and they spared me from having to make a long-overdue appointment to the audiologist.
The improvements, which Apple first revealed at a presentation in September, will be made accessible to the general public next week via a free software update.
The AirPods Pro 2 allow users to undergo a scientifically validated hearing test and, if necessary, function as an over-the-counter hearing aid.
Additionally, the headphones will come with new built-in hearing protection features, like loud sound suppression, that are activated automatically.
The World Health Organisation estimates that people with hearing loss number over 1.5 billion. Reaching this market might boost sales of Apple’s $249 AirPods Pro 2, which were first released two years ago.
Investigate the hearing health features if you already have the headphones. You can easily utilise them from the comfort of your home, and they just take a few minutes to set up.
Additionally, the AirPods Pro 2 are an affordable choice for anyone seeking assistive technology. Some over-the-counter devices, for example, can cost thousands of dollars if you don’t have insurance.
