Apple just turned up the volume on health tech! The U.S. FDA approved a game-changing feature for AirPods Pro 2, transforming them into affordable hearing aids. No more clunky devices—these sleek earbuds now offer FDA-backed hearing support, blending tech and wellness seamlessly.
A recent study showed users found AirPods Pro 2 as effective as professional hearing aids. At $249, they're a fraction of traditional models' cost. Plus, a quick 5-minute hearing test via iPhone creates a personalized audio profile stored securely in the Apple Health app.
\"This bridges accessibility gaps for millions,\" said FDA's Michelle Tarver. Apple VP Sumbul Desai added, \"Hearing health is vital—it’s time tech plays a bigger role.\"
And here’s the kicker: The AirPods auto-adjust music, calls, and movies based on your hearing needs. Traditional aids? They can’t stream like this.
Rolling out globally soon (pending approvals), this update could help over 1 billion people with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. As Barbara Kelley of the Hearing Loss Association said: \"A product people already love now protects their hearing? That’s a win.\"
