Developed in Apple’s state-of-the-art Audio Lab in Cupertino, California, the groundbreaking new Hearing Health features are finally available on the AirPods Pro 2.
Available as a free software update, the features help to minimize exposure to loud environmental noise with Loud Sound Reduction, track hearing with an at-home Hearing Test, as well as receiving assistance for perceived mild to moderate hearing loss using the AirPods Pro as a clinical grade Hearing Aid.
To fine-tune and validate this Hearing Aid feature, Apple had put a broad demographic of study participants with a wide range of hearing levels into a controlled environment to complete a speech-in-noise test, where they had to repeat the words of a single speaker while distinguishing it from background conversations.
Here’s how you can take the Hearing Test with your AirPods Pro 2.
-
- Make sure you’re wearing your AirPods Pro 2 and that they are connected to your device
- Head on over to the Health App on your iPhone
- Tap on ‘Browse’ and then ‘Hearing’
- Scroll down to ‘Get more from health’, and tap on ‘Take Hearing Test’
- Tap on ‘Get Started’ and follow the instructions to take the test
