Apple's AirPods Pro 2 now have a new feature that can help monitor your hearing health. Due to the growing demand for earbuds and headphones, cases of hearing loss are also increasing, especially among young people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 billion young people are at risk of permanent hearing loss due to unsafe exposure to loud noise.
To help with this problem, Apple added a Hearing Test feature to their AirPods Pro 2. In five minutes, it can diagnose whether you have a hearing problem by testing your ability to hear at different frequencies. The feature will also show if it is in the category of Little to No Loss, Mild Loss, Moderate Loss, Severe Loss, or Profound Loss your hearing.a
Although this is not a substitute for a professional check-up, it is a great help to easily monitor your hearing even at home. You can use it as a regular monitoring tool to prevent more serious problems.
In addition, Apple also has a new feature called Music Haptics. Through this, users can feel the music using taps, vibrations, and textures that follow the rhythm of the song. Although it was initially made for those with hearing problems, now more songs in Apple Music support it to make listening to music more immersive.
