The Apple AirPods Pro 2 headphones are getting an update from the tech brand to help transform them into a hearing support device for user of all ages to take advantage of. The headphones will soon be fine-tuned with results from the user's hearing profile that includes results from a Hearing Test to help them respond according to their specific requirements. The headphones will thus transform into clinical-grade hearing aids if required, while the hearing profile can also be used to turn on an audio limiting function to protect hearing.
The Apple AirPods Pro 2 headphones update is expected to receive authorization from global health authorities soon, and will be available this fall in more than 100 countries and regions.
