The AirPods Pro 2 has an over-the-counter hearing aid capability for users with mild to moderate hearing loss. But first, you must take Apple's Hearing Test, a clinical-grade hearing test based on pure-tone audiometry that takes about 5 minutes to complete with the AirPods Pro 2 and a compatible iPhone or iPad.

If you do, the hearing aid feature customizes your AirPods by boosting or lowering the volume at specific frequencies—based on your needs. It can also help protect your hearing in loud places like concerts by reducing the sound to a safe level.

Despite Health Canada approving AirPods Pro 2 as hearing aids, Canadians are still unable to use feature because of still further regulatory hurdles which look unlikely to be cleared.
