    Detailed Test Results

    Ease of Use: Overall, we found the Apple AirPods Pro 2 to be very easy to use. Setting up the hearing aids is easy and intuitive with good directions. There is a self fitting test available to customize your personal hearing profile, which is not part of the setup process but can be easily found under settings. Help is available from online and phone. The left and right hearing aids are not as easily identified as other models. There are no preset programs available to select different hearing situations. Volume can be controlled from the app and from the device itself. You can stream phone calls and music directly to the hearing aids. The water resistance offers protection from moisture and water damage.

    Performance: Performance is good for daily use. It has a rechargeable case that uses a USB-C cable. The battery runtime should last 6 hours. Charging the device should take 0.5 hours. In tests, this model was able to reduce noise very well, but not as much as other models. In practice, some found slightly less improvement in understanding dialog in movie and TV programs compared to when not wearing hearing aids, and minimal improvement in hearing speech in a noisy environment. They agreed that they could wear this model more frequently, and agreed that they had confidence wearing it. We found it generally comfortable to wear. It seemed less discreet than other models.

    Sound quality: This model showed very good sound quality in tests. It was far unable to meet FDA requirements for amplifying lower-pitched sounds. It exceeded FDA requirements for amplifying higher-pitched sounds. There was much more harmonic distortion and noisy interference created in loud environments. Sound delays during hearing aid processing were minimal. Audibility evaluations suggest this model can provide the right amount of amplification at the lowest or highest volumes.

    About

    The Apple AirPods Pro 2 is a non-prescription, over-the-counter hearing aid with an in-the-ear (ITE) style. This design may either fill the bowl-shaped outer ear (full shell), or just only the lower part (half shell). Typically used as headphone earbuds, this model also has hearing aid functionality when used with the latest version of iOS. It has a self-fitting test available to customize to a personal hearing profile. It has a rechargeable case that uses a USB-C cable, and there is an companion app for controlling the hearing aids but it is not compatible with Android.

    It has a manufacturer warranty period that might cover hardware defects or replacements, lasting 12 months. The trial period to test out the hearing aids without penalty is 14 days and is shorter than most other models.

    It does not come with a cleaning kit but it can be purchased, for use as needed. It includes 1 pair of a single size of dome/eartip. The manufacturer has no recommended replacement cycle, but we suggest replacement every 6 months as a standard. The appx cost of annual replacement accessories is $10, however prices may vary. This is based on the manufacturer's recommended replacement cycles, and if not specified for domes/eartips, we use a default cycle of 6 months.
