- microtherion 7y agoAirPods already can provide some hearing assistance in some situations through the "Live Listen" feature: https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Airpods-As-Hearing-Aids https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Airpods-As-Hearing-Aids
- ska 7y agoYes. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the sort of direction that truly disrupts the hearing aid industry - something that can leverage the scale on in-demand consumer electronics to bring the cost down, but with enough DSP capability to do interesting things. Perhaps in custom fit (or refit) packaging for more comfort. Doesn't have to be apple specifically, of course.
