In your pocket or purse, you may be toting around small devices that, with the help of new software authorized by the Food and Drug Administration, could soon become inexpensive hearing aids. Millions of people already own them.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re Apple\u2019s AirPods Pro 2, those white plastic knobs protruding from so many ears in malls and workplaces, on buses and sidewalks. The users may not be among the 30 million American adults reporting some degree of hearing loss; they\u2019re probably just listening to music or podcasts, or talking on their phones.<\/p>\n

Within weeks, however, consumers will be able to use those AirPods Pro 2 earbuds to bolster their hearing. Last month, Apple software called Hearing Aid and Hearing Test received a green light from the F.D.A<\/a>., a first for the regulatory agency.<\/p>\n

With the upcoming software and a compatible iPhone or iPad, users will be able test their hearing. For those with mild-to-moderate hearing loss, the AirPods Pro 2 will adjust sounds in their environments and on their devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Users will be able to customize their AirPods for volume, tone and balance. All that should allow them to hear better \u2014 at least for the devices\u2019 roughly five to six hours of battery life.<\/p>\n

Apple plans to release the free software later this fall for iPhones running iOS 18 or later and iPads running iPadOS 18 or later, a spokesperson said. A set of AirPods Pro 2 costs $249 from Apple, and less at big box stores or through online retailers.<\/p>\n
