Apple AirPods Pro 2 are FDA-cleared to function as hearing aids

During Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” special event, the tech giant revealed a pretty major and powerful health feature coming to AirPods Pro 2. That, of course, is the upcoming “Hearing Aid” functionality, paired with hearing protection and a hearing test feature — all of which are said to arrive in a software update at no additional cost.

Now, three days after Apple unveiled the feature and said it was awaiting FDA approval, the green light has just been given. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (also known as the FDA) authorized the AirPods Pro hearing aid feature as the “first over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid software device.”
