156 - AirPods as a Hearing Aid Substitute? Exploring NAL's Research with Nicky Chong-White, PhD

Nicky Chong-White, PhD is a Principal Engineer and leads smart technology innovations at the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) in Australia. She sits down with Brian Taylor to discuss AirPods Pro as a potential substitute for hearing aids. Recent reports have indicated that Apple might be interested to further enhance the hearing features in its latest devices. Currently, features like Headphone Accommodations, conversation boost, and ambient noise reduction can enhance hearing in specific situations. They discuss how the AirPods Pro can be beneficial for individuals with mild hearing loss and interesting insights gained from a study conducted on people with normal audiograms that have situational hearing challenges in noise. Dr. Chong White emphasizes that the AirPods Pro should not replace hearing aids but can be a valuable option for certain individuals.
