For someone like me (just about every musician or music fan) with the highest standards for music listening whether recorded or playing it live, and only moderate hearing loss, this is industry changing/disrupting/destroying truly affordable tech here, buried at the bottom of Apple's WWDC features announcements. Widex's top of the line Moment hearing aids, along with most manufacturers' latest greatest product, will run you $6,500 vs AirPod Pro's $250 price tag. The news that transparency mode will also be automatically adjusted to boost frequencies according to an audiogram means that Apple may soon have a product that’s vastly better than anything in the HA market and it’s at least 96% off the price of the next best product. That’s significant because NO hearing aid on the market even attempts to do that kind of true directional natural sound nor all frequency spectrum sound because they focus on long battery life and primarily boosting high frequencies, where most hearing loss occurs, needed to decipher speech. AirPod Pro's three directional microphones on each AirPod enable that tech, whereas, to my knowledge, the most advanced hearing aids have only two microphones and their placement, either in the ear or behind the ear, makes true directional sound nearly impossible.

AirPods Pro transparency mode is amazing in that activating it and then removing them from your ears to compare normal hearing reveals it sounds the same as if you have nothing in your ears.

I’m a professional musician and music producer. That brings us to today, where we are eagerly awaiting Apple’s latest accessibility marvels-Headphone Accommodations and personalized amplification for everyday sounds via AirPods Pro. Live Listen also works with Made for iPhone hearing aids. Remote microphones are widely endorsed by the hearing healthcare industry and provide better hearing in noisy settings, lecture halls, or when sitting far away from the speaker. In 2018, Apple introduced Live Listen on AirPods, enabling customers to use their iPhone as a remote directional microphone.
Today, Apple technology is built into more than 100 hearing aid and cochlear implant models.

Apple licensed this technology for free to hearing aid manufacturers. Hearing aid wearers could easily stream phone calls, FaceTime calls, music, Siri, etc, with clear sound. This enabled-for the first time-seamless audio streaming connectivity between a hearing device and smartphone.

In 2014, Apple launched the Made for iPhone hearing aid program and designed a completely new Bluetooth Low Energy protocol for the hearing industry. With TTY, the user must hit the send button before the chat is transmitted, and with RTT, chats are sent in real-time, as text is typed. For the uninitiated, TTY and RTT provide a text-based chat alternative to voice for those who are not able to hear clearly on the phone. Apple was the first to enable Teletype (TTY) and real-time text (RTT) calling directly on device.
The new audio settings will work with Transparency mode on AirPods pro and phone calls and media on AirPods Pro, AirPods (2nd generation), EarPods, Powerbeats, Powerbeats Pro, and Beats Solo Pro.Īpple has a long history of supporting the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities.
In the “Headphone Audio” settings, you will have the option to “tune audio” based on the following options:Īpple will also introduce a slider to increase the “boost” for soft sounds, from “slight” to “strong”. Apple is also providing some general purpose audio enhancement options that should help those with milder forms of hearing loss. If you don’t feel like going through the listening tests, or loading in an audiogram, you’re in luck. It looks like it will be possible to simply snap a picture of your audiogram and check the thresholds that appear on your iPhone before accepting the automatically produced digital audiogram. This means that it will be possible, for the first time, to use the results of a diagnostic hearing to customize the amplification settings of your AirPods Pro. In May (2021), Apple announced a new feature that will allow users to input their clinical audiograms directly into Apple Health. With third-party apps like Mimi, you can test your hearing and generate an audiogram, and with iOS 14, it looks like that audiogram can serve as the foundation for personalized amplification. This seems to indicate that the AirPods Pro will be capable of providing a very fine-tuned custom amplification experience, based on the audiogram (pitch-by-pitch hearing abilities) unique to the user. Using an “audiogram” to customize amplificationĪn option to use “an audiogram from Health to customize your audio” is also displayed in the leaked screenshots.
