Amazing sensing innovation coming to market: bringing hearing aids to commodity devices!
Apple says that AirPods Pro 2, its latest wireless earbuds, can be used as clinical-grade hearing aids. This feature hasn’t been FDA-cleared, however — although the company says that it expects approval “soon.”
The feature, when enabled, boosts specific sounds in real-time, like parts of speech or elements of an environment.
The hearing aid feature for AirPods Pro 2 will launch this fall via a software update in over 100 countries and regions.
