Thank you for sharing your experience! I’ve been down a similar path myself. I also have tinnitus (constant ringing in both ears) along with moderate to severe hearing loss. I’ve tried using AirPods Pro 2 as hearing aids, and they actually work surprisingly well. Considering how expensive traditional hearing aids can be, the AirPods seem like a bargain (also, possibly could be tax deductible or you can use HSA funds to buy them if you have a hearing loss). To make them work as hearing aids, I used the Mimi hearing test app you mentioned and uploaded the audiogram it generated to the Apple Health app. I then applied it to the hearing accessibility settings, just as you demonstrated in your video. I did tweak a few of the custom settings, like making the tone brighter, which is supposed to help those of us with high-frequency hearing loss, which often comes with age. This adjustment made conversations much clearer for me. Overall, the AirPods perform great, and music sounds much better too. The only issue I’ve encountered is that the transparency mode option in the headphone accommodations settings keeps turning off for some reason. I’ve read that others have had the same problem. Hopefully, this gets resolved soon because it’s a hassle to keep turning it back on.

I enjoyed the review as well. I did have a hearing test by an audiologist who said I needed hearing aids. I took the Mimi test and it said I hear well. I hear, but I can’t distinguish fine differences in speech. I am a speech therapist so I know what I’m doing and mixing up but it’s speech sounds. I am waiting for the firmware update. We shall see… i fixed the accessibility app for my own preference and i will see if it helps…

Hi - use the AirPods Pro 2 for the same reasons - transparency mode is brilliant & your suffering them turning off for some unknown reason is that they quieten down the music if you speak or are spoken to. Then when conversation stops the music comes back as before. Saves you removing them or changing settings if and when you need a pause for some reason if needed. Rogerbill77

Thanks man, you've helped demystify that first 'how do I get started' moment for me. Tomorrow a set of Airpods Pro 2 are being delivered and my augmented life begins. At 61 a youth of Motörhead concerts, my 30s spent as a roadie in the Aussie live music scene and since then 25 years as a pump operator in a fire brigade have collectively trashed my hearing. As Lemmy would have opined "Over the top, over the top."

I have a hearing loss that is significantly worse than yours in high end and is equal in both ears. Lots of tinnitus both ears. I have been down the prescription hearing aid road and I find it ridiculous, very expensive and they failed in four years. ($5000) I started down the path of OTC hearing aids and there were issues there mostly with things like the chargers failing etc., I went to the AirPod Pro 2 and went through all the processes to make them into hearing aids. Quite frankly, I believe it’s the best. Another KZbinr has a detailed description of how to set them up for hearing aids.

Thank you Jason. I’m still running iOS 17 and tried to follow you all the way through. It required me to use headphones, not my AirPod pros for the test.. Then I tried to follow you through the rest of the setup. However, I was never able to get to the Customize Transparency Mode screen and have no idea if I actually have adapted my AirPods to work as hearing aids. I have a serious hearing loss (too many loud and nasty noises , booms and bangs from my prior careers. I’ve gone back through the video several times, including using MiMi for my test and seem to be stymied one step before I get there. Frustrating 😫

@pvpixelarts 2 ай бұрын

Thanks. I had the exact same issue 4 weeks ago and went through the HT test. Today came across an article and set up the AirPods Pro 2. I have tinnitus for the last 4 weeks and mild hearing loss (26db) based on the mimi app results. Hope the fall update to make AirPods Pro 2 as a proper hearing aid should be good for many like us. Keeping fingers crossed.

I found out about this some time ago and also have mild to moderate hearing loss (70% hearing as per the Mimi App). Too many yeares of playing the bagpipes indoors without hearing protection. One of the features the Airpod pro 2 have which is really useful for those with mild to moderate loss is the ability to focus sound reception in noisy enviromments so if you are having a conversation with someone face-on their voice is clearer and the backgrond noise is deminished.

@aj8ky 25 күн бұрын

Another great feature ( I use as a last resort), when really struggling in very busy/noisy areas is live listen. That’ll activate the microphone on your phone and you just put it in front of the person you’re having a conversation with. It’s a bit echoey but it really helps!

First.. I have to say that seeing your audiogram compared to mine.. well, mine is much worse.. I only found out about using my airpods as hearing aid yesterday.. downloaded mimi app and set it up last night. and WOW.. this is so much better than any of the OTC hearing aids I have spend hundreds of dollars on in the past. And, it was something that I already had laying around. Apple is going to be marketing them as OTC hearing aids soon, so it is interesting to see what new things they may come out with. Although, looking at their marketing material, it looks like they are just integrating the mimi app into their apple health app.

@johntechwriter 11 күн бұрын

Wow, so glad I came across your channel. Another musician here, probably got a couple years on you, with similar tinnitus and moderate hearing loss, especially in the high frequency range. I attribute this to positoioning my Hammond organ's Leslie amp with its rotating horn a foot from my right ear. A guy can play "Black Magic Woman" only so many times before that shrieking Leslie brings on the whirlies. Now in my 70s, I'm at the stage of asking people to repeat themselves and discovering such requests get old pretty darn quick. Being a keyboard player I learned to riff vocally on the general mood of a conversation. Somebody would say something I didn't understand and, over time, I learned there are four stock phrases I can recite that give the impression I understood what came before. I am resigned to needing a tech solution for my hearing loss and I sense another instance of us being on parallel tracks: We both got into tech. I fell in love with microcomputers from day one, and learned early on that the developers of the first PC apps were unable to come up with user guides that anyone could undersstand. They'd assign their lowest ranked engineer to write the doc as a kind of penance. And here I found my niche. My major was English Lit so Iknew grammar and how to write. I went back to technical college and l earned the basics of digital technology. A few programming courses were required and I quickly discovered I hated coding. OTOH the technical writing courses I took unearthed my inner inclination toward expository writing. Within a few months, like Jake and Elwood Blues, I was on a mission from God. Only in my case my quest was to reduce the angst experienced by office workers who were terrified of tech but needed to get familiar with it or risk being left behind. Over 30+ years it worked out very well for me. Now I’m mostly retired but still social enough to be sering people in noisy environments. (I live in the Bay Area, just outside Oakland.) But the thought of shelling out $5k for a half-assed volume booster was more than I could stomach. For me Apple were always the leaders in mobile tech. I got on the iPhone band wagon early, but I fell in love with iPad, Steve Jobs's departure gift to Apple. And with iPad I needed good quality wireless sound. And that was was what brought me to the new AirPods Pro 2, a.k.a. Second Generation. It's early days but I suspect Apple is about to cause another disruption in tech. I've had my Pro 2s just a few days but happened upon a brilliant technology convergence. I was sitting in semi-noisy public place., waiting for a friend. To kill time I was scanning the news on my iPad and listening to tunes on my AirPods. When my friend showed up and we started talking, upon hearing our voices my AirPods aautomatically reduced the music volume and switched their focus to their hearing aid functionality, able to compensate for my high-frequency hearing shortconing and detect his voice for singling out as needing enhancement. Not long ago even the concept of such an event, completely in the background, would have been from the realm of science fiction. But here we are, living it! And to extract the maxinum from my devices I subscribe to channels like yours. What I liked about your channel right off was your laid-back narration style, and the just-right level of. tech. As I told my user docs clients over the decades, they don’t give a damn about your app. They are in a squeeze and need to accomplish one of more tasks. The tech is never the end product, the the means to an end. So you keep on describing ways technology can teach old dogs nee tricks, and I’ll keep reading!

I have used hearing aids for years, and recently bought Air Pod Pro 2's to try. I am VERY impressed and the cost brings hearing aids into the range that most people can afford. Paying thousands of dollars for hearing aids has always been a total repugnant rip-off. The problems I have with Air Pods is they tend to easily slip out of my ear--I can't find attachments that allow a deeper fit. Also, It is very frustrating to have the Air Pods lose settings, especially Transparency Mode. I am constantly having to fiddle with the settings to get them back to my hearing aid level. Overall, this is the perfect business for Apple to be in and help out those of us with less financial means. I recommend the Air Pods Pro 2's ...

@aj8ky 25 күн бұрын

I’ve used these as hearing aids for nearly a year now and very much agree. There are great for the price, and also I think the five minute fast charge feature really helps make up for the battery shortfall a little bit. Hopefully, some custom tips and the ear seal test might be able to get them to stop slipping out your ears. Fingers crossed, the new hearing aid mode coming out in about 2 weeks fixes the lost settings problem. It’s great that AirPods are now going to be officially certified hearing aids with a full test baked in to the iOS. Hopefully there will be some performance improvements due to this very soon! All the best!

Thank you so Jason, your video was very helpful . I had the 1st Ipods, they were great when using them on my cell, but were zip if I tried to use them as hearing aids. Yesterday I purchased 2 pairs of Ipos2 , on this one as you mentioned, I too downloaded the free testing app , got an audiogram which I programed into my cell and new Ipods, it was a little better, but still, not as good as I would need them to be. I understand that the whole thing derives from how much a person's hearing loss is, , I was told mine was higher on my right ear, like 80% , so I might have to get the ones you spoke of that go for $1,000 , hope they got them at Best Buy. Again, Thank you so Jason, God bless.

Hi, I’ve been using AirPods Pro as hearing aids about a year and it works pretty well overall. The fast charge feature really helps for all day usage. My doctor recommended the AirPods. My right ear hears about half volume (apart from constant tinnitus) after I had an operation to remove middle ear tumours. It’s great that apple have got certification now, and the AirPods will very soon have an official hearing aid mode with on board certified audiogram test. All new features will be available in iOS 18 in about 2 weeks time. All the best!

As a musician, all my life playing drums in rock bands my ears suffered. I also believe there are hereditary factors too since my mom and dad had problems with hearing later in life. I went right to prescription several years ago. They can be costly but although they don't cover aids some have discounts offered. Make sure they are Bluetooth and keep them basic to save some money. They help but are far from normal hearing. When I got my first pair I went outside and heard nature-like birds for the first time in years. You don't realize that you no longer hear.

I wonder if Sennheiser offers vented sleeves for your HA’s? I ordered some replacement sleeves for my Sony OTC hearing aids, and they were offered in vented sleeves or non-vented sleeves. My experience has been that the vented sleeves made a big difference in terms of occlusion effect. My understanding is that the more severe the hearing loss, the more likely that you will need non-vented sleeves. You may want to retake the hearing test if you switch to vented sleeves.

As audiologist pointed out AP Pro2 are not hearing aids per se, they can cancel noise well, can amplify in presence of nearby your iPhone, but cannot replace a prescription hearing aids. So with your already severe hearing loss (65%) you can not use Pro 2 as the only hearing aids, but you can use them like me (also severe hearing loss in high frequencies sound/speech range) as a music companion during your flight, or other occasions when noise cancelation is all you need to listen to music, podcasts, or else. But yes Apple further improves AirPod Pro 2 hearing capabilities especially in noisy environment, with this fall software update.
