Apple has released a software update for AirPods Pro that adds new features specifically designed for people with hearing loss.

Conversation Boost

This feature uses the AirPods Pro microphones to amplify the voice of the person in front of you while reducing background noise. It's designed for one-on-one conversations in noisy environments.

Custom Audio Setup

The update includes a hearing test built into your iPhone. Based on your results, your AirPods Pro will automatically adjust audio to match your hearing profile.

How to Update

Make sure your iPhone is running the latest iOS, then place your AirPods Pro in their case near your phone. The update will download automatically.
