We are really excited to announce that this fall,
0:03
AirPods Pro will have a clinical grade
0:05
over-the-counter hearing aid feature.
0:07
We're adding this groundbreaking capability
0:10
to help more than one billion people
0:12
living with mild to moderate hearing loss.
0:15
To give you insight into your hearing health,
0:17
we're introducing a clinically validated hearing test
0:20
with your AirPods Pro and iPhone.
0:23
It's a simple five-minute check you can take
0:26
from the comfort of your own home.
0:28
All you need to do is tap the screen
0:30
when you hear a series of tones
0:31
at different volumes and frequencies.
0:34
After you take a hearing test,
0:35
your AirPods Pro are transformed into a personalized hearing aid,
0:39
boosting the specific sounds you need in real time,
0:42
like parts of speech or elements within your environment.
0:46
One in three people are regularly exposed
0:48
to environmental noise levels that could impact their hearing.
0:52
To help our users minimize their exposure,
0:54
we're adding Hearing Protection to AirPods Pro.
0:58
Hearing Protection can help you
0:59
across a variety of loud environments,
1:02
whether that's commuting, mowing the lawn,
1:04
or when you're headed to that next event,
1:07
preserving the entire dynamic range
1:09
of what you're listening to.
1:11
We are so excited for these updates coming to AirPods Pro 2
1:15
with active Hearing Protection, a clinical grade hearing test,
1:19
and an easy-to-use professional grade hearing aid.
1:23
These features will be available in a software update
1:25
coming to AirPods Pro 2 and iOS 18
1:28
to help make hearing health significantly more approachable
1:31
for so many people.
