Kudos Apple.

I can absolutely get behind the innovation that Apple is bringing to their newest version of Airpods. They will double as a medical device, a clinical-grade over the counter hearing aids for those who need them, and for a much lower cost than traditional hearing aids. Traditional hearing aids can run a few grand, while the Airpods pro 2 will cost $249.

They may or may not work for every hearing loss case, so if interested, consult a physician to see the best fit for you!
