The hearing protection function in AirPods Pro 2 will be available only in the USA and Canada

With the iOS 18.1 update, AirPods Pro 2 has features to support healthy hearing, but not all will work in all regions. The hearing protection mode, which will work exclusively in the USA and Canada, has fallen under the restrictions.

AirPods Pro 2 has hearing test functions and a hearing aid mode. With the help of the first one, users will be able to check their hearing acuity. CNET reporters compared the data with special medical equipment, noting that the results are close, but not 100% consistent. The feature will work in more than 100 countries around the world, including the US, Germany and Japan. Users from Russia will not be able to use it.

Hearing aid mode allows you to better hear the sounds around you. Users believe that the feature will only help with mild hearing loss. Also, AirPods will not be able to completely replace a classic hearing aid due to the fact that the battery of the device discharges faster. This feature will also work in many countries, but not in Russia.

The function of protecting hearing from loud sounds came under a stricter regional restriction. It will appear only for users from the USA and Canada. The company has not yet announced plans to expand the feature to other regions.
