The Single Bestselling Headphone in the World: AirPods Pro 2
AirPods Pro 2 is the most popular and bestselling headphone in the world, and it's easy to see why. With its innovative design and incredible audio experience, this headphone has set a new standard for portable listening. The ear tips provide an incredible audio experience that includes active noise cancellation, crystal clear transparency mode, and the longest battery life.
New Health Features for AirPods Pro 2
The latest updates to AirPods Pro 2 come with three major health features focused on prevention, awareness, and assistance. Let's start with prevention, which is an area where many people struggle. One in three people are regularly exposed to environmental noise levels that could impact their hearing, and it's essential to take steps to minimize this exposure.
Hearing Protection for AirPods Pro 2
To help users minimize their exposure to harmful noise, AirPods Pro 2 now comes with built-in hearing protection on by default across listening modes. The ear tips provide passive noise reduction, while machine learning on the H2 chip actively reduces louder, more intermittent noise at 48,000 times per second. This means that whether you're attending a live show or playing music at home, your AirPods Pro 2 will help protect your hearing.
The Importance of Awareness
Hearing loss often worsens gradually, and it can be hard to detect. That's why Apple is introducing a clinically validated hearing test with AirPods Pro 2 and iPhone. This simple 5-minute check can be taken from the comfort of your own home, all you need to do is tap the screen when you hear a series of tones at different volumes and frequencies.
The Hearing Test: A Game-Changer for Hearing Health
The hearing test was developed using large-scale real-world data and was validated against the clinical gold standard of pure tone audiometry. Once you're done, you'll see easy-to-understand results in a personalized hearing profile. The Apple hearing study revealed that a staggering 75% of people diagnosed with hearing loss haven't received the assistive support they need.
A Breakthrough Feature for Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids
This fall, AirPods Pro 2 will feature a clinical-grade over-the-counter hearing aid capability. This groundbreaking feature is designed to help more than 1 billion people living with mild to moderate hearing loss. After taking the hearing test, your AirPods Pro 2 are transformed into a personalized hearing aid boosting specific sounds you need in real-time, such as parts of speech or elements within your environment.
The Benefits of Automatic Hearing Profile
With the updated AirPods Pro 2, your hearing profile is automatically applied to music, movies, and phone calls across all devices without needing to adjust any settings. This means that you can enjoy an incredible audio experience with enhanced sound quality and improved hearing health.
A New Era for Hearing Health
AirPods Pro 2 is delivering the world's first all-in-one experience with active hearing protection, a clinical-grade hearing test, and easy-to-use professional-grade hearing aid technology. With availability of these features this fall in over 100 countries and regions, including the US, Germany, and Japan, Apple is making hearing health significantly more approachable for so many people.
