Apple Expands Hearing Health Features of AirPods Pro 2 to Four New Countries

AirPods Pro 2 Hearing Health Features Expanded to Additional Countries

Apple has expanded the hearing health features of its AirPods Pro 2 to users in Australia, Brazil, Colombia, and Saudi Arabia. These features require approval from health regulators, hence the regional rollout.

Key Features:

• Hearing Test: Users can take a five-minute hearing test using their AirPods Pro 2 and an iPhone or iPad running iOS 16. The test provides a summary of the user's hearing level in each ear and offers personalized health recommendations.
• Hearing Aid Mode: For users with mild to moderate hearing loss, the AirPods Pro 2 can act as a clinical-grade hearing aid. A custom hearing profile is created based on the test results, enhancing conversations and environmental awareness.

The hearing profile also applies to music, movies, games, and phone calls across all devices without additional settings changes. These features are accessible within the AirPods settings on iOS and may require an AirPods firmware update for activation.
