However, even if you have compatible hardware running the latest software, these new features won\u2019t be available worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-974438\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hearing-health-features-for-airpods-pro-2-will-have-limited-availability\">Hearing Health features for AirPods Pro 2 will have limited availability<\/h2>\n<p>Apple announced the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/09\/10\/four-new-features-coming-to-airpods-pro-2-this-year\/\">AirPods Pro 2 hearing aid feature<\/a>\u00a0at its September iPhone event. Impressively, the new capabilities take hearing protection further and include a hearing test for user awareness and clinical-grade hearing assistance. AirPods will then use the results to fine-tune the sound and turn the earbuds into hearing aids.<\/p>\n<p>The new Hearing Health features are only compatible with the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4hg00HZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">second-generation AirPods Pro<\/a>. However, there is another requirement between the lines. According to a footnote on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/airpods-pro\/hearing-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple\u2019s website<\/a>, the new features will only be available to users located in the US and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, even if you have a pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4hg00HZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AirPods Pro 2<\/a> and an iPhone or iPad running iOS 18.1, you won\u2019t be able to use the new Hearing Health features outside these countries \u2013 at least for now. Most likely, as Apple promotes these new options as health features, they need to be tested and approved by local regulators.<\/p>\n<p>In the US, <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/09\/12\/apple-just-got-approval-for-airpods-pro-2s-hearing-aid-feature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AirPods Pro 2 have received FDA authorization<\/a> to be promoted as \u201cclinical grade\u201d hearing aids. Apple is probably waiting for approval from more health regulators around the world to expand Hearing Health capabilities to more countries.<\/p>\n<p>If you live in the US and Canada, all you need to do is update your iPhone or iPad to iOS 18.1 and then look for the Hearing Health options in the AirPods settings. It\u2019s worth noting that the new features work with both the Lightning and USB-C versions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4hg00HZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AirPods Pro 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Hearing Health aid features AirPods Pro 2\" class=\"wp-image-974279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?resize=155,78 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?resize=655,328 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?resize=1536,768 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?resize=140,70 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?resize=1600,800 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?resize=290,145 290w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/how-to-use-airpods-hearing-aid-feature-1.jpg?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>iOS 18.1 will be released to the public next week. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/10\/21\/ios-18-1-apples-full-release-notes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">An RC (Release Candidate) build is now available for developers and public beta testers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-also\">Read also<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- post ad --><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/10\/21\/hearing-health-airpods-pro-2-available\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple on Monday shared another glimpse at the new Hearing Health features coming to AirPods Pro 2 with iOS 18.1 next week.
