AirPods Pro Turn Into Hearing Aids with Software Update

Apple has announced a software update for the existing AirPods Pro 2 that will turn them into certified over-the-counter hearing aids for mild-to-moderate hearing loss. The update also brings a new Hearing Test feature that performs a detailed at-home hearing text in five minutes. Finally, a new Hearing Protection mode lets you hear your surroundings while dynamically adjusting for dangerously loud sound levels.
