The iPhone 16 stole the show at Apple’s recent event, but the real surprise came from the AirPods Pro 2. Apple announced that these premium earbuds will soon double as over-the-counter hearing aids with a software update pending FDA approval.

The FDA recently approved the software update, marking a milestone in accessibility for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. This move was made possible by the FDA’s decision to allow the sale of hearing aids without a prescription, opening up a new industry for easily accessible hearing devices.

Users can access a new hearing test feature through iOS 18 when connected to AirPods 2. This feature adjusts frequency levels to amplify key sounds like the human voice for those with mild to moderate hearing loss.

TechCrunch recently got a hands-on demo of the new feature, showcasing the innovation behind Apple’s latest update for AirPods Pro 2.
