Apple Developed Hearing Health Features On AirPods Pro

New Delhi: Apple’s newly launched hearing health features on its AirPods Pro aims to minimise exposure to loud environmental noise and track even moderate hearing loss, the company said on Tuesday. The world’s first innovative and end‑to‑end hearing health experience was created at its Audio Lab - in Cupertino, California - where all Apple products with speakers or microphones are designed, measured, tuned, and validated.

The new features, which aim to address the hearing concerns of all persons, were tested by acoustic engineers in the Lab's anechoic chambers which completely absorb reflective sounds and isolate external noise.

The new hearing feature is currently available as a free software update and provides Hearing Protection and tracking of hearing with an at-home Hearing Test. One can also receive assistance for perceived mild to moderate hearing loss using AirPods Pro which acts as a clinical-grade Hearing Aid, the company said.
