Bought AirPod Pro 2's

I had recently bought by granddaughter several Apple products to send her off to college with. As a result Apple provided gift cards for educational discounts. Well after the dust settled I was left with enough gift cards to buy a set of AirPod Pro 2's.

I am interested in the hearing aid feature Apple just got approved and will be put in a later firmware update. I have found I already love these! I can wear them and when I start to talk to someone they fade out what ever I am listening to. When I am done it starts the audio back up. This also works if I am watch TV. So cool!

Just don't sing with conversation awareness turned on, it ruins the sing along!

If you had heard me sing .... well that would not be good! So no danger of a sing-a-long!

Update on my Air Pod 2's. They updated to the latest firmware 7A305 which gave them the hearing aid feature - supposedly. I have very mild hearing loss in my left ear due to tinnitus - only in my left ear, so it is hard for me to figure out if they are doing anything in that area.

BUT I did wear them to church Sunday and made a great discovery. I run our video computer during service. It has been well established our audio/video control booth is the loudest area in the room. Easily 95db or more. In the past I have worn ear plugs but it is hard to hear the words they are singing. I am responsible for following the singers and put the words on the screens. I put in the Air Pod 2's and they reduced the volume down to a very nice level. I could hear the singers and the volume was very comfortable. I did remove them to test just how loud it was and there was a very noticeable volume level change. I should have checked on my watch the levels. I will do that next Sunday. It was also nice to be able to leave them in once the preaching started and the Air Pods adapt so I never noticed the volume change and I could hear what was said.

Another nice feature is when I am listening to music or an audio book if I start to talk to someone the Air Pods will pause/lower the audio as I talk and when I am done will raise it back.

I use the adaptive setting for all the above.
