At Apple’s “It’s Glowtime.” special event, the technology giant unveiled a pretty important and powerful health feature coming to AirPods Pro 2. Of course, that’s the forthcoming “Hearing Aid” functionality coupled with hearing protection and a hearing test feature – all of which would be arriving in a software update at no additional cost.
Now, three days after Apple unveiled the feature and noted that it was pending FDA authorization, a greenlight was just issued. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (aka the FDA) authorized the AirPods Pro Hearing Aid feature as the “first over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid software device.”
