FDA Authorizes First Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Software https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-authorizes-first-over-counter-hearing-aid-software
Newer AirPods Pro with recent software updates are now FDA certified hearing aids. This is astounding and wonderful. No, they’re probably not as great as high quality hearing aids fitted by a trained professional. They also cost $250, not $2500, making them far more affordable.
I hope this is the first of many such certifications.
