Apple has now received FDA approval that allows AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) to function as a hearing aid, making them the first OTC hearing aid in the US.
A recent study showed that subjects using the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) hearing aid function achieved similar perceived benefits for hearing compared to those using professional hearing aids.
The FDA's new regulations aim to make hearing aids more accessible, allowing individuals with mild to moderate hearing impairment to purchase OTC hearing aids without a prescription.
During the launch event, Apple described how users can complete a hearing test with the AirPods Pro, tailoring the hearing aid feature to their specific needs.
