- AirPods Pro 2 is packed with features including a customizable transparency mode that can match to your audiogram. In this video we'll walk you through the simple steps to turn your AirPods into respectable starter hearing aids.
Thank you for a clear presentation on setting AirPods as hearing aids
Thank you for best and easiest to follow instructions. Thanks to you I am now able to use my AirPods in transparency mode. : )
Can you use wireless (Rodes, Movo's, etc.) lavalier mics, receiver & transmitter, to amplify conversations at a table and use wireless blue tooth earbuds simultaneously on an Apple or Android phone... something like what a Roger On or a Pocket Talker does?
I was thinking of doing a setup like this because conversations, especially in noisy areas, are my most difficult hearing issue. This would be a much cheaper solution if it would work as my Galaxy Pro's & buds+ earbuds do very well for me but needs a bit of a boost. It would be helpful for many situations, while driving with other people, having conversations with family & friends, watching TV... let them wear a wireless mic or put it on a table and so forth.
My other question, can I program Apple Airpods Pro 2 on my Ipad and use the airpods with my androids and windows?
Dude. Thank you. Hearling loss is an incredibly isolating and lonely experience and this really really helped.
Can you do this setup on an iPad?
Thanks for a clear rundown. Can Mimi and transparency mode work with Bose Earbuds?
Thank you for the clear explanation. I have tried using these in the past as hearing aids and didn't have much success. Trying these specific settings might make the difference. I have re-set them and I will re-take the hearing test to see if I get some additional benefits.... but they already seem better without retaking the hearing test.
Hi how can i get rid of too much hissing
Do you have to have your iphone on to activate the hearing aid?
Hello. I'm Slavik, I have mild hearing loss. I read your reviews about Olive SmartEar Plus and AirPods Pro 2. It is now possible to buy the new Olive SmartEar Plus for $150 or AirPods Pro 2. Please, which would you recommend to try the boost of Olive SmartEar Plus or AirPods Pro 2 for the first time? Thank you very much.
Best presentation on the subject I've seen on RUclips. Thank you. Lost a lot of hearing with a recent case of bronchitis. Devastating. Had tubes placed in my ear drums to drain, but hearing still minimal. My AirPods arrive today, so will know soon if this works for me. Really just need something to get me through until my Costco hearing aid appointment later this month, every OTC thing I've tried makes music sound really bad. As a musician, got my fingers crossed for the AirPods being better than IQ Max 2, Vivtone, etc. for making and listening to music.
Okay, got the AirPod Pro 2s. Love the lightness and of course for streaming music they are great, but as hearing aids they don't compare to IQ Max 2s, so sent them back. The IQ's are massive and not that comfortable, but they work as decent OTC hearing aids. Bummer, I was hoping the Apple product would be answer. Better than Vivtone, which squeal and are a pain to deal with. Impressed as always with Apple quality, brilliant design and packaging, if I needed earbuds, I would have kept them.
what about the newer AirPods? I looked and they have AirPods 4 now
I followed the steps in this video (did the mimi test, allowed it access to my health), but when I go into headphone accommodations, Audiogram isnt there. (16 PM on 18.1 beta, ipod pro 2 on latest os). All it lists is Balanced Tone, Vocal Range and Brightness
After going through all the steps, does this have any effect on listening to music?
It should, yes!
Thanks for this easy to follow video. Possibly you should mention in the very beginning that you need headphones in order to do any of this.
Does it only work with iPhones ?
I have tried prescription hearing aids inexpensive to expensive ($6000). Non of them gives Clarity of Voice and I have been at it for years talking to my Audiologist with no end in sight. Anyway I ordered Apple Air Pod Pro -2 Generation and what do I have to lose give it a try and hope it’s a magic and things will sound better for me. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the Video.👍👍
Would love to hear how this goes for you!
Any updates??
What can you say about your experience?
Do you know if adjusting the "brightness" overrides the audiogram? My hearing loss is mostly in the high range. I agree that the problem is that you can't turn the Transparency amplification up enough to be truly effective.
My mom loses her hearing aids all the time. This is great. This is a good emergency backup until she finds or replaces her prescription. Super easy to follow tutorial so thanks!
Glad you enjoyed this! Agree this can be a great backup option.
The hearing test and set up is available for the Air Pod Pro 2s?
Not yet! This demo was from last year but we expect the new test and software from Apple (will replace the existing setup) any day.
I tried it and it still needs the phone to work. And the phone works as the mic or the source where the sound is coming from. So if the phone is away from the person you are talking to, it also won’t work
I don't have an apple phone, but do have an apple tablet - can I still do this using the tablet - or do I need to keep the device with me at all times for the ipods to function as a hearing aid... hope this makes sense.
Good question! You don't need the device on you for the Airpods to work. They use their own independent mics vs using the phone's mics.
Any updates to these? This vid. was about a year ago now.
Best tutorial by far and thank you!
Hello, can you please tell me are they using the microphone built into them to reproduce sound of the mic on a phone?
Hello! Yea Airpods has a built in microphone that picks up your voice and sends it to the phone during a phone call. The onboard microphones also capture your environment to create transparency mode.
Thank you .. very well explained .. I will buy my new AirPods soon.. & I will follow your east steps ✔️
So, how does the iphone integrate after the setup with the hearing device? Can you simply place it on a table in a room to get the benefit?
The AirPods actually operate independently. You don't need your phone to pick up the sounds since the AirPods have built-in mics.
This is going to sound like a stupid question, but the notifications from my phone (ie emails and text messages) come through really loud on my airpods when I am wearing them and the notifications startle me when I am not expecting them. How can I turn it down without affecting the volume on the phone or the assisted hearing?
This is a good question! Not sure off hand but we will report back if we learn the trick. Might be something you can manage in your notifications section
Hi, Thanks for the informational video!
Question: Does the Airpod pro 2 require a phone (Iphone) in order to perform its hearing aid functionality?
In other words, after I program and configure the Airpod Pro optimally for hearing aid purpose, can I leave the Iphone at home, and still able to use the Airpod as a hearing aid away from home? Thanks.
Hey good question. Yes, you can use your AirPods without your iPhone present! You will, of course, need your phone for configuration.
@@HearSoundly Good to know; thank you!
Do you need to keep your phone close by?
You do not. The microphone in use is onboard the earbuds.
thank you for this tutorial i have severe if not complete deaf - hearing loss in my left ear and also mid hearing loss in my right ear. I am not rich person i cant afford expensive hearing aids here in the philippines. I was often lonely and cant communicate with people, im often bullied at school and in my college years i quit because professors bullied me.
I isolated my life from people because i have so much anxiety and i developed trauma all these years i am not understood and i couldnt live a normal life becauise of this i stayed away from people, everyone thinks i am autistic person (i believe i am) because i stopped caring for people and stayed home for many years i dont feel like i can live normal in life.
I can maybe try this, i can buy an older gen iphone and maybe buy myself this newer airpod for entry level hearing aid i hope it can help me. THanks sir for this tutorial youre awesome.
i subscribed
You can buy OTC hearing aids for about the same price, probably. Jabra just lowered the price on their OTC hearing aids, which are very good, to $500.
Hi! I have a single sided deafness on my right ear.. Will this help me? I have tried the transparency mode of Airpods Max of my Friend last year. And it was amazing, i think I can hear from my right ear when I tried the transparency mode.
Oh interesting! I think the same principles should apply from your previous transparency mode experience. I’m not 100% sure how much of the left side gets sent to the right side etc. but it could be interesting to try. The more obvious solution would be a CROS hearing aid.
@@HearSoundly Yes the CROS hearing aid is the best solution. However it is quite expensive and rare here in our Country (Philippines). I hope Apple could add this new feature for people who have SSD like me :)
makes sense! Let us know if this works for you. I'll be very curious. @@johnrandellramos6025
@@HearSoundly yes ill update you once i received my AP2. I just ordered it today ☺️
Is it just airport that help hearing as I'm andriod ???...xxxx
Hey if you have a samsung buds you can try a similar process. More info here www.soundly.com/blog/samsung-earbuds-as-hearing-aids

IOS 18.2 Bata and no Transparency mode either hoping for help
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Best presentation so far! Thanks!
I was able to set AirPods Pro 2 to use as hearing aids. They worked well for about three hours. After this they would only work one at a time. Each one would work if they were the only one in, but then stop working when both were put in. I followed all the instructions from Apple Support online although they pointed out three times in a short period that they are not sold for hearing aids. They were uninterested in helping me once I told them I wanted to use them as back up hearing aids. Very disappointing.
Strange! I'm sure you tried this but have you recharged the devices?
@@HearSoundly They were fully charged. It was frustrating. I am sure Apple could have figured it out if they had applied themselves. They were not interested in helping me.
turn off your phone and restart to see if that helps.
I am not sure I tried that, but I presume I did. I was having trouble with a Volvo once. The dealer told me to restart the car. It worked. @@benlofgren180
Hey Blake, I'm a bit late to the party, but I was wondering if the AirPods need to stay connected to the iPhone for the hearing aid feature to work. I use an Android phone, but I could do the mimi test on a friend's iPhone. Did you try something similar (for example, connecting the AirPods to a TV after they were set up)?
They do not. They can act independently after initial setup. Good question!
@@HearSoundly Thanks, I'll give that a try then!
@@HearSoundly It worked like a charm, thank you so much! :)
Yorumum türkçe olduğu için kusura bakmayın, Fakat Orta Derece İşitme kaybım var ve bu kulaklıklar benim için neredeyse 5 6 kat para ödemememi sağladılar. Ve süper çalışıyorlar. Şuanda 125 hz ve 8 Khz arasındaki odyo testlerimi sağlık uygulamasına yükledim ve videodaki ayarları yaptıktan sonra, duyma becerilerim süper oldu. Apple çok teşşekkürler. Artık uzakdaki insanlarla konuşmak benim için hiç sorun değil yada yan odadaki konuşmaları anlamak benim için çok kolay. Tam sürümü yayınlanmasını merakla bekliyorum. Umarım airpods pro 3 ile bu teknolojide daha iyileşir. işitme cihazları saniyede 700 kere tanırken bu cihaz 48000 kez sesi tanıyor ve düzeltiyor. Yüksek işitme kayıplarında işe yarayacağını düşünmüyorum. Artık toplantı ve seminerlere gitmek benim için bir korku değil, bilgi kaynağı sebebi oldu. İşitme engelli kardeşlerim bana bu yorum altından ulaşsın. Ve onlara da artık iyi bir duyma sağlayalım.
for some i cant upload my audiogram into health it stays at 0%
Same u ever figure out
A+
They do not work well as hearing aids.
This aged well 😅
WHAT DID YOU SAY 🦻🦻👂🙉
