It can also set 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 cutting down on high-decibel sound when using Transparency and Adaptive modes. Hearing Aid capabilities are available with the AirPods Pro 2 and ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ when paired with a device running iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 or later.
