There"s also a personalized hearing test (which you can share with your doctor) that will help power a built-in hearing aid mode.

The AirPods Pro 2 will use the results of your hearing test to make adjustments that will help you better hear the voices and sounds around you. The AirPods Pro 2 can also make adjustments helping you hear media better.

All of this will be available soon in more than 100 countries and regions.
