Apple's AirPods Pro 2 Now Function as Hearing Aids

With iOS 18.1, users can transform their AirPods Pro 2 into FDA-approved hearing aids after completing a hearing test.

Apple's new feature allows AirPods Pro 2 to be used as hearing aids for those with mild to moderate hearing loss.
The process requires updating to iOS 18.1 and the latest AirPods firmware, followed by a mandatory hearing test.
The hearing test checks for fit, environmental noise, and evaluates hearing loss by playing tones at various frequencies.
Users can upload an audiogram from a doctor if they prefer not to take Apple's hearing test.
The hearing aid feature includes options for amplification, tone adjustment, and Media Assist to enhance audio experiences.
