Hearing Protection on AirPods Pro 2 is part of the world’s first end-to-end hearing health experience. Powered by the H2 chip, it minimizes loud noise exposure while preserving natural sound, actively reducing intermittent sounds 48,000 times per second. On by default, the multiband high dynamic range algorithm ensures that live events, like concerts, remain vibrant, so users can experience the full depth of a performance. A scientifically-validated Hearing Test feature and software-based Hearing Aid feature for mild to moderate hearing loss are also available on AirPods Pro.
