Apple announced a trio of major new hearing health features for the AirPods Pro 2 in September .

They include clinical-grade hearing aid functionality, a hearing test, and more robust hearing protection.

Apple says 80 percent of adults in the US have n’t had their hearing checked in at least five years .

Apple 's $ 250 AirPods Pro 2 earbuds can now be used as a hearing aid for those 18 years and older with mild to moderate hearing loss.

You can use sliders to fine tune the hearing aid feature’s amplification, tone, and balance.

The main tradeoff is battery life: they can last for around six hours with the aid engaged.
