With the introduction of three new features,AirPods Pro 2open up new and very attractive perspectives in the field of hearing health. However, we French users will have to be patient. Indeed, despite the global deployment of the necessary updates,Hexagon remains on the sidelines.
An ambition thwarted by borders
The latest update to the pair of high-end headphones from Applepromised us a little revolution in the hollow of our ears. On the menu: a scientifically validated home hearing test, personalized hearing assistance worthy of professional medical devices, and an intelligent protection system against excessive noise.
Apple is currently rolling out these innovationsvia two additional updates: firmware 7B19 for Airpods andiOS 18.1for the iPhone. Perfect technical synchronization which nevertheless comes up against the complexity of our national health regulations.
A France with absent subscribers
While many European countries are celebrating the arrival of these new features – Switzerland, Germany, Ireland and even the tiny principality of Monaco – France is conspicuous by its absence. The health authorities have clearly not yetgiven the green light for the hearing test and hearing aid function.
As AirPods Pro 2 combines the functionality of wireless earbuds and hearing aids, this combination requires specific evaluation to ensurethat they meet regulatory requirements for both types of devices. It may therefore take a little longer than with our neighbors.
The situation is even more restrictive for the protection system against harmful environmental sounds,which only North American users can currently benefit from. At this time, we do not have any official information regarding the availability of these features,it will therefore be necessary to show patience.
- Apple has launched three new hearing health features for AirPods Pro 2, including a hearing test, hearing aid and noise protection.
- Despite the global update, France has not yet validated these options, so users must wait.
- Deployment is delayed due to specific health regulations in France, with no availability date announced.
