Apple has received FDA approval for a new hearing aid feature for its AirPods Pro 2, which will allow the headphones to function as an over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid for individuals aged 18 and older with mild to moderate hearing impairment. This feature, which is set to be available later this year, was validated through a clinical study involving 118 participants, all of whom had mild to moderate hearing loss. The study demonstrated that the feature provided significant benefits without any adverse effects. This marks a significant milestone as Apple becomes the first company to receive authorization for OTC hearing aid software. The AirPods Pro 2 are currently available at a discounted price of $199, and the new functionality is expected to enhance their utility for users seeking hearing assistance.
