海外TECH	Engadget	Why the AirPods Pro’s new hearing aid features are a bigger deal than you think	https://www.engadget.com/audio/headphones/why-the-airpods-pros-new-hearing-aid-features-are-a-bigger-deal-than-you-think-111543985.html?src=rss	Apple s high end earbuds will be able to be used a full on hearing aids Apple Could Apple really be teeing up a change that could save my elderly mother more than That s the promise of the company s newly announced initiative to add true hearing aid functionality to the AirPods Pro ーand why with all due respect to the iPhone and its fancy Camera Control button it was the most promising section of Monday s keynote to my eyes nbsp The news couldn t have come at a better time for me My year old mother has finally admitted that her hearing is shall we say subpar And she just asked me to book her an appointment at the Miracle Ear clinic down the street They re having a fall sale But before I went down that road I decided to do some research The frustrating world of hearing aids I knew that there was a burgeoning market for hearing aids since the US government opened the field to over the counter competition in But a bit of googling confirmed that those models ーeven those with familiar names like Jabra Sony and Sennheiser ーstart at and go north from there sometimes topping And while that s certainly a lot the crazy thing is that it s downright cheap compared to clinical hearing aids Those often start at and can go as high as or more Yes really Some medical insurance may defer costs but Medicare doesn t While retired military personnel can get hearing aids through the VA I remember my father s journey down that path meant that his hearing aids arrived many months after the initial hearing exam Jabra Enhance s OTC hearing aid options top out at almost Jabra Enhance And here s the clincher Many elderly folks seem to loathe their hearing aids and for good reason They re generally tedious and unintuitive to use sometimes with a single microscopic button to control volume Want to turn them off Pop open the battery cover for starters And many hearing aids still use disposable microbatteries Case in point My mother got one of these expensive pair of hearing aids years ago but found the challenge of wearing and maintaining them wasn t worth the so so audio improvement they offered They still power on but they don t seem to work effectively any more ーand being out of warranty the cause of our current hearing aid search The competition from the OTC market has helped in that regard as the Jabras and Sennheisers of the world push the traditional hearing aid providers to become a bit more tech savvy Some eschew the behind the ear battery pack and go for earbud style simplicity Bluetooth connectivity for calls and apps for sound adjustments are finally more common as older people become accustomed to using their phones and tablets But why go for what s essentially an AirPods knockoff when you can get the real thing at a fraction of the price And ーamazingly in an age where everything has gone the subscription route ーfree of any sort of recurring monthly fees Waiting for the software update ーand managing expectations So when will the hearing aid features become available What seemed to be weeks away may now be much closer FDA regulatory signoff in the US is already a done deal arriving just a few days after the initial announcement That leaves the requisite software upgrade You ll need an AirPods Pro paired with a compatible device running iOS or the equivalent OS updates for iPad or Mac On the iPhone side that s pretty much every model sold after the model year iPhone XS XR and later While those initial software updates hit on September it s unclear if the hearing aid functionality will arrive then or sometime later ーperhaps alongside the first Apple Intelligence coming in October Apple s site simply says coming this fall In the meantime I ve started the upsell to my mother I showed her the relevant portion of Apple s video presentation and I had her try out my AirPods Pro just to gauge fit and comfort The initial response wasn t enthusiastic While she liked that they didn t fall out of my ears like the AirPods she s put off by the penetration of the eartips into her ear canal Countless other headphone fans agree and that s why the design of the new AirPods is more open But Apple hasn t suggested the hearing aid functionality is coming to those headphones anytime soon ーif ever Unlike traditional hearing aids AirPods Pro are anything but discreet This shot is from Apple s keynote video Apple And let s be honest This isn t envisioned as a miracle cure Apple specifically says this feature is intended for people with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss I wouldn t be surprised if my mother has graduated to the need for pro level hearing assistance at this point over the counter or otherwise So we may end up opting for one of those Jabra Enhance models which offer a day no hassle return policy But now we have the AirPods Pro as a testable alternative Going forward anyone in the market for hearing aids can start their journey with the AirPods Pro and its companion free audio test If you like the results you re done ーor you at least have a stopgap solution And if not you can compare and contrast them against pricier OTC or clinical options in terms of comfort battery life ease of use and ーof course ーthe respective efficacy of their actual hearing assistance The very fact that Apple is in the hearing aid conversation with a ish option feels like a win This article originally appeared on Engadget at	2024-09-15 11:15:43
