Apple Expands AirPods Pro 2 Hearing Aid Features to Australia and More Countries

With Therapeutic Goods Administration approval, Apple's AirPods Pro 2 now offer clinical-grade hearing assistance in Australia and are set to launch in Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and Colombia.

Apple's AirPods Pro 2 can now function as clinical-grade hearing aids in Australia following regulatory approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
The hearing aid features are designed for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss and include a personalized Hearing Test and Loud Sound Reduction for hearing protection.
The AirPods Pro 2 hearing capabilities leverage a scientifically validated approach, aligning closely with widely used prescriptions like NAL-NL2.
The features are expanding to Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and Colombia with the iOS 18.4 update, making them available in over 100 countries globally.
Apple's initiative aims to address barriers like cost, access, and stigma, offering a more accessible alternative to traditional hearing aids for a global population of 1.5 billion people affected by hearing loss.
