During the iPhone 16 event, Apple announced hearing aid mode for the AirPods Pro 2. Here’s how it works and when it will be available.
Apple announced a list of upgrades to its AirPods lineup, including two new AirPods 4 models, hardware upgrades to the over-ear AirPods Max, and significant software upgrades to its premium earbuds, the AirPods Pro 2.
Later this fall, when iOS 18 is available for download, AirPods Pro 2 users will be able to access software features like Siri Interactions and Voice Isolation, unveiled in June during the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference.
More notable features coming to the Pro 2 earbuds include a clinically validated hearing test to assess the wearer’s hearing capabilities and monitor gradual hearing loss. Users can complete a hearing test on their iPhone when wearing the Pro 2 to access insights and metrics.
