Apple AirPods Update Turns Headphones into Hearing Aids for Millions




Apple's recent software update enables select AirPods models to function as hearing aids, potentially benefiting millions facing hearing loss. With an estimated 11.1% of people in the EU and UK experiencing this issue, many shy away from traditional hearing aids due to cost, aesthetics, or fit. 


The new feature includes built-in tests to identify hearing loss and personalized amplification settings. Experts believe that using ubiquitous AirPods may help normalize hearing aid use. However, the battery life remains a concern compared to traditional devices. Overall, this innovation promotes greater awareness and accessibility to hearing care.
