helping the elderly too now. seriously. Gary is such a respectable man and has helped millions across the globe and made our lives far easier.
Oh this an absolutely brilliant video. I’m going to try with my hearing aids, this could be super helpful! Thanks 🙏
Great video! Did know about the feature since I'm using hearing aids with iPhone, but surely this must be super helpful for those either waiting for their hearing aids, or for those in a situation where aids are not viable due to the general mess of the world and economy.
Gary..this is very useful for me. I tried it out immediately and was amazed at how well it works ! I will be using this when I go out to restaurants and see how it works with a bunch of gals talking and all the ambient background noise which keeps me from hearing them well. Thanks !
I clicked on this SO QUICKLY! This is exactly what I need! Not always for everyday use, but more frequently than I wish to confess to!
Thank you so very much! I’m going to use it with my Mini iPad in my classes. 👍🏾
I tried it works great thank you Gary for another great tip
Gary it's still works with my 1st gen airpods and with iphone SE(older one).
AWESOME and thanks ! 🙏
Interesting feature, thanks Gary..!
A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️
You informed me a very useful information.
Thank you very much, i used my ipad and worked great!😎
I appreciate the good good tips sir..... thank you
Whoa! Thanks for explaining in English I just watch another video he did not explain live listening I was wondering why I couldn't hear anything. Fantastic Video
Awesome!
Thanks bunches
It is a great feature. I doesn't replace my hearing aids and won't in the near future, but what it can do is help me when I go for a walk listening to music or a book, and I meet someone I want to talk to. Instead of having to swap my Airpod Pros for my aids I can use Live Listen.I really want to keep improving this feature because it could be a game changer for people like me with hearing difficulties. Thanks for bringing this up, Gary.
I'm in the same boat.
I read it’s rude to have a conversation with someone without removing your AirPods Pro.
It took me two years to find someone who had the skill to set my hearing aids up. I couldn’t hear. I have moderate to profound loss. I wonder if I could use my iPhone with my hearing aids? I hope and trust that Apple becomes involved and develops hearing aids that really work. I considered buying these devices. I’ve worn hearing aids for over 20 years. Setup is the most important part of making hearing aids work. There are fatal flaws in hearing aids use. Apple would make them work!
@@Landis_Grant I’m hard of hearing. If these work I’d wear them 15 hours a day! Being hard of hearing is a disability. I hope this helps you understand.
I’ve worn hearing aids for over 20 years. I need to see you as you talk to be able to read lips and understand you better. Hearing aids don’t fix bad hearing. Perhaps ear pods will replace my $6,000 hearing aids in future. I know Apple can make products better than what we have now.
Thank you for the info. I just recently got a new pair of air pods and am still learning about them. This is a great feature that I will definitely be using. I don’t wear hearing aids yet, but I do deal with some hearing loss/tinnitus. I will be using it to hear the tv without disturbing the rest of the family or while they’re trying to sleep.
This is really cool! I'm using AirPods Pro and an I-X. Works for me! Thanks.
Thank you so !!!! I’m in happy tears right now😭 My stupid tv is low anyways because they want you to buy all these extra speakers and stuff nowadays. I should’ve kept my old TV that I had for more than 20 years. And with not being able to hear so good… now I can put my phone right up to the TV and hear my DVD’s and VHS movies threw my AirPods 😭❤❤❤❤❤ Not all of us older folks can deal with all this new Technology. So happy with my iPhone and my AirPods. That’s enough for me for now. People don’t even believe me when I say I don’t have a computer🤣 i sure do appreciate your video big thumbs up! Much appreciation from Texas!!!!!
Thanks Gary for this information. I had no clue I could do this with my iPhone and air pods. I am supposed to wear hearing aides but, haven't because they interfere with earphones and I am a little evil and don't wear them to irritate the wife sometimes. LOL!!! This will help a lot when we are watching TV she has this uncontrollable urge to talk during shows and movies. I think she is paying me back for not wearing my hearing aides. LOL!!
aids not aides
I tried it with my Signia hearing aids and unfortunately there is an echo which makes the function useless. I think I have to figure out how to switch the mic off on the hearing aids.
Gary, you keep amazing me. This is the BEST. My children thank you in advance 🗣.
How do you use it
"Hearing" knows my Bose QC earbuds are in my ipod touch but will not connect for "Listen Live" I guess not compatible ...
From Heinrich Fickler. Sounds very interesting. I tried to test it immediately - but without success - the list of compatible headphone models is very limited. My Powerbeats 3 are not compatible -sorry. Best regards - Heinrich
Hi Garry. Can one adjust different amplifications for different frequencies , like in hearing aids?
Not with this, no. The idea is it worked automatically to let you hear talking.
if it can be possible then it would be great thing
In fact many Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids can also take advantage of Live Listen. I use Oticon MiniRite aids which do work with Live Listen although the quality is far inferior to the hearing aids internal microphones.
You don't use Oticon's own app?
Oh, adding to it, fellow HoH here, with Rite + app + all the Apple stuff.
@@lysanatt There is no app that supports the MiniRites I have. I just use the IOS native controls (volume, programme selection and live listen) plus battery level indication.
I have the first version of airpod pros. They seem to be incompatible with Live Listening. Must I have airpod pro 2?
You mean the only AirPod Pro model until this week? That's what I have. Live Listening works great on them.
I wonder if there’s an app for equalizing the sound to accommodate for hearing losses of specific frequencies?
I have been looking for the same thing too! Let me know if you find it😊
Can the AirPods Pro 2 (2nd gen) utilize its own microphone instead of the one in an iPhone? If not, is there a latency problem when using the iPhone's mike?
Yes, you can use the mic on the AirPods, but the app has to support it. Default Camera app doesn't (unless they added that since the last time I checked). Many third-party video recording apps do.
I'm a bit surprised that you did not mention the Airpod Pro is able to import your audiogram, to better match and help with your hearing loss. With the incorporation of your audiogram, the Airpod Pro is a major step closer to a prescription hearing aid.
Thank you….
Aside from not matching frequency loss as properly fitted hearing aids do, what is its effect on daily battery life? Hearing aids can work from getting up to bedtime for several days. iPhones not so much, unfortunately.
I wouldn't try to use them as a medical 'hearing aid' replacement, but as an aid in certain situations: meetings, events with speakers, watching TV, dinner conversation, etc. The iPhone battery shouldn't be an issue if you just charge while you sleep. But AirPods need to be charged every few hours at least. They charge fast though.
i carry a fully charged battery pack for these situations. works like a charm.
Any idea why this doesn't this work with any/all listening gizmos, e.g. wired earbuds? Is Apple using the app as a way to drive sales of its AirPods?
No. Probably has to do with the hardware in the AirPods. They are much more sophisticated.
On my phone I click volume button 2 times fast for this menu
Looking for some help if possible. Got this setup for my dad (using 3rd generation AirPods) and Live Listen works but it picks up his voice as well through the mircophone and causes an echo/reverb, which makes it unusable. Is there any way it can negate his own voice being fed back to him please?
There's no special setting for that and it can't know which is his voice.
Help how do you get the background off when you are on live listen and we have it turned off in accessibility
Not sure what you mean by "background off."
Is this the "conversation boost" feature I've heard about? If not, what's the difference?
Probably. I've never heard it called that, but it would be useful in that way.
I tried it but not working
My husband has an android phone. Is there anything they can do?
There is NO hearing app in the control center page once added. This is an old video, so that may be the problem.
is can use Beats studio buds with iPhone hearing aids ?
I think you can, at least some models. Try it.
Does it ONLY work with apple pods/Beats?
It works with those, but it may also work with some other Bluetooth headphones. You'd have to check. See support.apple.com/en-us/HT201466
Hello..Helpful vidoe. Thanks for sharing.
One question - How to "PAUSE" "Hearing aid" - "background sound" -stream, rain etc while we using Airpods pro #2 ? I do this "PAUSE" manually everytime going to my iphone 13 pro max . Can we "PAUSE" it using bluetooth airpods pro #2 ? I tried but it is not working.
You just have to switch it off and on when you want.
@@macmost Hello Sir, my question was how to switch off using airpods ? . By using Bluetooth is there a way to switch off ?
@@RameshKumar-ng3nf Just take them out of your ears. Or, go to the settings on your iPhone/iPad/Mac/Etc and disconnect.
@@macmost Okay, Thanks 🙏🏻
I need help I think my keyboard is broken it hits two letters at once for example if I press H it ends up as HN and I don’t know how to fix it
Make an appointment to take it to the Genius Bar.
but i found it less amplification
In general hearing loss means that you miss the higher frequencies. The result is that you won't hear the difference between 'S' and 'F' or 'P' and 'T' (etc.), which makes conversations confusing. Amplifying the sound does not remedy this. Hearing aids function like equalizers, they compensate by boosting the missing frequencies. Hearing aids are just as personal as glasses, they come with a prescription designed for your own needs. No one else can listen with my hearing aids.
Please don't create the illusion that amplification solves hearing loss problems.
Sorry, I did not mean to imply that this is an alternative to medical hearing aids. This is simply a tool that some people may find useful.
@@macmost I wear hearing aids. I definitely understood you to say that this is NOT a replacement for hearing aids. Thanks so much for all your information!
@@macmost Thank you, Sir. I have a mild hearing loss and I have been using my Airpods for the past 6 months. I would say it definitely helps me hear better. Kudos to Apple for this game-changing breakthrough. Such a great aid!
I used this video to help me connect my husbands hearing aids to his iPhone music. Thank you.
Why doesn’t it let me switch for live listen 😢
I have a question. Will it work with mi headphone? I don’t have Apple AirPods
Probably not. See support.apple.com/en-us/HT209082 for supported devices.
Hi how do I remove it from my phone ?
Just switch it off
Oh god!! I am not a deaf!! I can’t remove the ocean background noise… please tell me how to remove if
Just turn it off the same way you turned it on. It is in Accessibility, Audio/Visual, Background Sounds.
Can I use the earpieces that comes with my iPhone to work this
No. AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Fit Pro, or Beats Studio Pro.
@@macmost is that any AirPods not some other make
@@macmost will AirPods 2nd generation ones work
@@Ynwa50 "AirPods" are only made by Apple.
Yes, they should.
Always some latency though
Can I use my MacBook with Airpods?
Are you asking about this special "Live Listen" feature? That is an iPhone feature. But if you just want to use AirPods as normal earphones with your MacBook, then yes, of course.
@@macmost Thanks. So no using Airpods as hearing aids with a MacBook.
My Wife and I think you ❤❤
How to turn it off
I show the on/off switch in the video.
@@macmostYes but I don’t have the option to turn it off
@@danielaaa505 So if you bring up Control Center, then tap the hearing accessibility button (looks like an ear) then tap Live Listen, it doesn't turn off?
My ears loss upto 80% can I use it
Try it and see.
@@macmost is it perfect for 80% loss ear then I will buy AirPods and iPhone
@@Mrsuhaib1 Oh, you don't have them now, I see. I can't say whether they will work for you, sorry. The only want to know is to try it. I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell you much more than that.
@@macmost ok sir sorry for bothering u
I am a spy and I find this feature very useful
😂
Why would I use my iPhone when I have two microphones in the AirPods!
One reason is to put your iPhone near the source of the sound. For instance the middle of a table at a meeting or family dinner. Or, by the TV speakers.
Unbelievable nobody mentions the audio lag / delay that creates an echo when using live listen. Would otherwise be super helpful… but the echo is NOT.
do you know if we can use both sides microphone? .... like to ride a bike with your wife, split the sides and we can have a conversation?
The microphones being used on the iPhone, not the AirPods.
Wow Gary! This may be the most useful and life changing video I’ve gotten from you in a while. I knew it was possible, but you’ve pushed me to really give it a go. My biggest problem is conversation in a high ambient-noise environment such as a restaurant (in NYC lots of restaurants depend on high noise levels to attract passersby). But I didn’t realize the possibility of TV enhancement with a partner. This could definitely stop the remote wrestling match. Thank you!👏👏👏🦻
You made the money that went into my AirPods go down the drain
You liar now my AirPods won’t work
If you are having trouble with your AirPods, try turning Live Listen off. Then maybe unpair and pair them again. If you can't figure it out, call Apple Support and they will walk you through it.
I don’t like the way you teach
