Back in my day headphones caused hearing loss.

A decent set of hearing aids along with the tests needed and set up is about $2000 plus. These are a game changer for so many people who suffer from hearing loss plus they don’t have the stigma and prejudice associated with hearing aids. Well done Apple

This is just out of this world. They have just sent shivers down the hearing aid market.

The hearing aid feature is pretty awesome.

I was born hard of hearing, and have been wearing hearing aids my whole life. I listen to music all the time. The last time I purchased hearing aids, it cost over $6, 000. Surprisingly, these hearing aids could actually play music, but the sound quality was horrendous, so I never used the feature. Apple offering a hearing aid device installed into the AirPods is INSANE. I never thought in a million years a tech company would do something like that, especially at under $300. Also super excited that the case has a loop for lanyards, and they dramatically updated the Find my AirPods option! I used to have AirPods, but I lost them super fast and the Find My app was useless (it wouldn't tell me anything more specific than what building it was in). I would love to purchase these and see how well the hearing aid setting works, especially in a large lecture hall where I am sitting in the back (I am a college student).

I have really bad hearing loss ever since I was a little kid and definitely need hearing but I’ve never gotten any because you’re a teenage girl with hearing aids, you’re going to get bullied. And if you don’t get bullied people are definitely going to be judging you behind your back. I’ve never bought AirPods because I felt like I’d just lose them straight away but hearing I’d actually be able to hear properly and I’d look normal at the same time makes me really want to buy them. I’d rather be judged as being a bit of a jerk for always wearing earphones than for being broken.

I wear hearing aids, they cost $1, 800. Can’t wait to try apples version at $250. Game changer possibly.

These are the EXACT SAME as the 2nd gen AirPods Pro with usb c hence u can purchase right now and have before the 20th

[andrefilho]

So they will only update the AirPods Pro firmware? The AirPods Pro 2nd gen its the AirPods Pro 2 or will they launch a new Airpods?

[TomGunnZ]

if we already have the airpod pro 2 do we get this update?

[mikeshafer]

I wish Airpods Pro has a low power night mode where you can use them to wipe out loud street noise. I suspect you could use them as-is for this but it would be cool if there were a feature for this (including having a gentle alarm clock).

[itsjustashow]

Are these features coming to last year's airpods pro 2 or is this a hardware update

[ammarabdull]

Is it the same air pods 2 available in the market now?

[piero]

I am confused… Is this an upcoming update on current AirPods Pro 2 or it was new AirPods Pro 2 on last Monday event? Appreciate any help!

[Jayden-lrmm]

Apple being generous with making a hearing aid feature on the AirPods says a lot about them being good

[thaialina]

Will this be available on day of release on the new pods or is this a feature to be released

[TheCarters]

i’m curious if jobs would be understand ing since all they see is someone wearing headphones on the clock

[RyanZirnheld]

Can someone explain the loud noise protection? Are they just cranking up the ANC more than usual?

[ScottParisi]

The world is divided. Are we getting new AirPods Pro or new firmware for AirPods Pro second Gen?

[selahattinhocam]

I'm wondering if this new hearing aid feature will be available in AirPods Pro 2 with lightning connection type (not type-c edition). If you guys have any information about it, please share it. Thank you.
