•Why the AirPods Pro’s new hearing aid features are a bigger deal than you think
70% Informative
Apple 's new AirPods Pro will add true hearing aid functionality to the headphones.
Many elderly folks seem to loathe their hearing aids, and for good reason: They’re generally tedious and unintuitive to use, sometimes with a single microscopic button to control volume.
FDA regulatory signoff (in the US ) is already a done deal, arriving a few days after the initial announcement.
Apple 's AirPods Pro and its companion free audio test are available for $ 200 .
Apple says the feature is “intended for people with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss” The very fact that Apple is in the hearing aid conversation with a $ 200 -ish option feels like a win.
