Apple said today that hearing aid features are now available for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 3 in Italy, Romania and Czechia, while high blood pressure alerts have expanded to Israel.
The Hearing Aid option allows AirPods Pro to be used as an over-the-counter alternative to a set of traditional hearing aids. AirPods Pro can enhance sound to help with mild to moderate hearing loss, adjusting voices and sounds around the user to improve hearing. It can also tune music, videos and phone calls to optimal sound levels using a personalized hearing profile created after taking a hearing test.
Loud Sound Reduction also prevents hearing damage from loud ambient noise by reducing high-decibel sound when using Transparency and Adaptive modes.
Hearing aid capabilities are available with AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 3 when paired with a device running iOS 26/iPadOS 26 or later.
In Israel, users will be able to receive an alert if the Apple Watch detects signs of chronic high blood pressure. Alerts use data collected by the heart rate sensor over a 30-day period.
Hypertension alerts are available on Apple Watch Series 9 and later and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later.
