Apple ’s AirPods Pro 2 wireless earphones include a new hearing-aid capability, along with several other hearing health features.

We asked a grandmother in her eighties who uses hearing aids on a regular basis to test the feature for a week .

The Hearing Test and the Hearing Aid feature require a smartphone compatible with the latest iOS.

AirPods Pro 2 also have functions to emphasize sounds coming directly toward someone, adjust the overall volume, and adjust the balance of each range.

It is a useful feature if the wearer knows how to use it.

After her one-week trial, my grandmother says she will continue to use them at home.
