How to Set Up Apple’s New AirPods Pro 2 Hearing Aid Feature

2 months ago

Apple’s latest iOS 18.1 update introduces a groundbreaking feature that transforms AirPods Pro 2 into FDA-approved hearing aids. This innovation allows users with mild to moderate hearing loss to access hearing assistance without traditional hearing aids or doctor visits. The process begins with a simple five-minute test and can provide immediate hearing support once configured.

 

System Requirements

  • iPhone running iOS 18.1 or later
  • AirPods Pro 2 (not compatible with first generation)
  • AirPods Pro 2 firmware version 7B19

Note: These hearing health features will not be accessible without meeting all system requirements.
