Today, Apple announced not only the new AirPods 4 but also a set of exciting updates for the existing AirPods Pro. Contrary to speculation, the updates do not include a new model, but rather enhancements focused on hearing health.
One significant improvement is the enhanced hearing protection against loud noises. This feature serves dual purposes: it allows users to enjoy their audio without being distracted, while simultaneously safeguarding their ears from potentially damaging sounds.
Perhaps the most intriguing enhancement comes from the health perspective. The AirPods Pro have subtly served as a makeshift over-the-counter hearing aid, which is now taking a more prominent role in this update.
