In an exciting development for users in the UK, Apple has rolled out its clinical-grade Hearing Aid mode for AirPods Pro 2. This innovative feature, which enhances everyday sounds to assist those with hearing difficulties, was initially launched in the US and is now available following necessary approvals.
The hearing aid capability can be accessed through an over-the-air software update for AirPods Pro 2. Once users upgrade to the latest version, they will find a new Hearing Test designed to evaluate their hearing range.
Personalized Hearing Profile with AirPods Pro 2
After undergoing the hearing assessment, users receive a customized hearing profile that amplifies essential sounds in their environment in real-time, imitating the function of a traditional hearing aid. This feature seamlessly integrates into phone calls, music, videos, and games across all connected devices.
Apple has expressed intentions to expand the hearing aid functionality to more than 100 countries and regions, although it remains dependent on the authorization from local health authorities for each respective launch.
