Since launching in October 2019, Apple has sold tens of millions of AirPods Pro earbuds in the US alone. That means a significant (and growing) percentage of the US population has instant access to advanced wireless earbuds that provide personalized amplification, digital noise reduction, and sophisticated beam-forming directional microphones—technologies that are more often associated with medical-grade hearing aids. And with AirPods Pro priced at or below $199, the technology is far more accessible than traditional hearing aids. If you own a pair of AirPods Pro, and have no worse than a mild-to-moderate hearing loss, there's no reason not to grab your pair right now and set them up as "hearing aids" by following this simple instructional video. I'll cover all the things I love about the AirPods, and I'll also go over a few of the limitations and things you may want to consider before making the AirPods your daily driver for hearing loss correction. 00:00 Intro 00:45 Why Use Airpods Pros as Hearing Aids 02:00 How to Setup you Airpods Pro as Hearing Aids 02:35 Apple's Hearing Loss Features 03:00 Uploading your Hearing Test 04:00 Drawbacks of Testing with your Iphone 04:49 Accuracy of Test Results 06:35 Importing Mimi Hearing Test Results 07:39 Airpods Pro Active Noise Cancellation 08:10 Airpods Pro Transparency Mode Customisation 09:00 Conversation Boost 09:52 Independent Studies Verifying the effectiveness of Airpods Pro in Noise 10:25 Battery Life limitiations 11:20 The Occlusion Effect 12:45 Final Thoughts Jabra Review: https://youtu.be/rtFnGtwwreg Olive Union Pro Review: https://youtu.be/krPYMW1ZIRk AirPods as Hearing Aids Announcement: https://www.hearingtracker.com/news/airpods-pro-become-hearing-aids-with-ios-14 Evaluation of Apple AirPods Pro with Conversation Boost and Ambient Noise Reduction for People with Hearing Loss in Noisy Environments: https://hearingreview.com/hearing-products/hearing-aids/psap/apple-airpods-pro-for-people-with-hearing-loss-in-noisy-environments __________________________________________________________________________________________ Matthew Allsop is the Video Content Manager at Hearingtracker.com.
