Apple has just confirmed the rollout of the Hearing Aid feature in the UK.
Owners of Apple's high-end AirPods Pro 2 earphones in the UK are now getting a very useful free health update starting today. The US tech giant has confirmed that UK users will finally have full access to the hearing aid's innovative feature.
This clever upgrade, available in the US for some time now, transforms the famous white earbuds into a clinical-grade hearing aid.
The basic idea behind amplification is to help people with mild to moderate hearing loss better hear the sounds around them. Apple says it created the feature to help users engage more in conversations and stay connected to those around them and their surroundings.
There's also the ability to fine-tune your settings with a unique profile, which is then automatically applied to music, movies, games and phone calls across all your devices.

This is a significant update as mild to moderate hearing loss affects millions of people in the UK. Some research has also shown that untreated hearing loss can have an impact on a person's overall health and wellbeing.
“At Apple, we believe technology can help people live healthier lives, and we’re excited to bring Hearing Aid to the UK, offering our customers an integrated approach to hearing health with AirPods Pro 2,” said Sumbul Desai, M.D., Apple’s vice president of Healthcare.
The update now complements the hearing test feature that also recently launched on AirPods Pro 2 in the UK. This means you can take a quick five-minute test using your iPhone, and then have the results instantly displayed on the screen.
If a problem is identified, a hearing aid feature can be used to improve the situation.
Apple has confirmed that the Hearing Test and Hearing Aids features are based on science and have been tested in rigorous scientific studies.
If you own AirPods Pro 2 and feel like your hearing isn't up to par, you can find a hearing test feature in the settings.
