You may want to hold off from using AirPods as hearing aids just yet
(Picture: Apple)Can AirPods replace a hearing aid? A new study from Taiwan shows that Apple’s true wireless earbuds perform surprisingly well against dedicated hearing-aid devices in certain conditions.
What’s more, while AirPods aren’t known to be cheap, they’re certainly competitive when compared to the dedicated opposition. While the second-generation AirPods and first-generation AirPods Pro mentioned in the study launched at £159 and £249 respectively, the two dedicated hearing aids they were pitched against cost $1,500 (£1,270) and $10,000 (£8,469) respectively.
