The FCC has announced new requirements for all smartphones to be compatible with all Bluetooth hearing aids. This will include iPhones supporting all Bluetooth hearing aids, not just MFi ones. The Commission also established a Bluetooth coupling requirement that will benefit consumers by ensuring more universal connectivity between mobile handsets and hearing aids. As AirPods Pro 2 now qualify as OTC hearing aids, this will require Android smartphone makers to ensure that the AirPods Pro 2 can be used with them in hearing aid mode.
