Apple's new hearing features for AirPods Pro 2 work remarkably well. They include hearing protection, a hearing test, and a hearing assistance feature. Before the test, the process prepares the user with simple and clear steps. The test takes a long time as you sit in silence tapping a circle each time you hear the test's intermittent chimes. Upon the completion of the test, the app prompted the user to set up the hearing assistance feature, which amplifies every footstep and sounds more noticeable. The hearing assistance feature helped the user hear media better too. With hearing loss amounting to mild loss in one ear and little to no loss in the other, the difference from using hearing assistance is so noticeable that the user is aware of the crystal clear difference. 1.5 billion people suffer from some degree of hearing loss.
Apple notes that often, many of them are untreated. The hearing test walks the user through checking that their environment is quiet and that their AirPods Pro 2 fit well before testing. Apple published a press release on how it developed these hearing features. The user notices a vast difference in sound during daily activities such as typing, packaging of the food, and conversations nearby.
The feature is equally profound outside, and the difference is noticeable in the real world of the coffee shop. It becomes the new normal as the hearing assistance feature works well. The novelty of hearing assistance will wear off, but the first hour of experience is remarkable.
People who are experiencing hearing loss or even those who are not can give the hearing test a try to witness the remarkable experience of the hearing assistance feature. Club MacStories has provided exclusive content for everyone who has the interest to learn more about Apple and its products.
