The AirPods Pro 2 will soon double as hearing aids


As soon as the feature clears it's FDA approval anyway.

The iPhone maker says the hearing aid functionality is still awaiting FDA clearance, but it expects the agency’s approval alongside other regulatory bodies “soon.” When enabled, the hearing aid feature will boost specific sounds in real time, such as speech and other environmental noises. The results can be viewed within the iPhone Health app and will create a custom hearing profile that’s then automatically applied when users listen to audio like music, podcasts, and calls.
