    I thought a hearing aid would correct audio from the curves generated by a clinical hearing test, just like the Airpods Pro are trying to do. After a quick search, it seems like even the smallest earbud hearing aids can handle mild to severe hearing loss. I get that it might not be the best solution for severe to profound hearing loss, but for less severe cases, the Airpods could be a good option for many people who haven’t been treated or even tested for hearing loss.

      I totally agree with everything you said here. I just cannot imagine wearing ear buds for 15-18 hours straight every day as a solution for my hearing loss. I almost don’t even notice my aids in my ears anymore.

      PSA: Take care of your ears everyone, hearing loss sucks big time.
