The move from Apple comes after it introduced hearing health features to its AirPods Pro 2 last year, which includes a hearing test, hearing aid feature and active hearing protect

There’s no mention in the report of whether the new feature will be limited to AirPods Pro models, for instance, or will also arrive for the recently updated entry-level earbuds

The best AirPods yet come with state of the art hearing protection and spatial audio, and they're nearly $80 off their usual $249 price.
