Various new features will be introduced through the iOS 18 update which will be given in just a few weeks. The most surprising thing for us in the announcement this morning is that AirPods Pro 2 will be able to be used as a clinical level hearing aid after the operating system is updated.
According to Apple, the on-ear hearing level test feature can be done in 5 minutes using an iPhone. After the test is done, it will analyze whether the hearing level of the user's ears is still good or has started to be affected. The results of this test can then be shared with the doctor to get a more professional opinion.
If the wearer's hearing is already beginning to suffer, there are a number of built-in features on the AirPods Pro 2 that will enhance the audio level as well as the ambient conversation. The active noise cancellation (ANC) system on AirPods Pro 2 can reduce the audio that is very noisy in the environment damaging the user's ears. The hearing test feature will be available for free through iOS 18 in 100 countries.
