Hearing Aid and personalized assistance features for AirPods

The update for AirPods users is among the notable innovations with iOS 18.1. The “Hearing Test” feature, available for users aged 18 and over, provides scientifically verified hearing test results in the home environment. This test allows the user to monitor their hearing health more closely.

This feature was specially developed for users with mild to moderate hearing loss and stands out by providing clinical level assistance.

The new features that come with the iOS 18.1 update take the experience Apple offers to iPhone users in Turkey to a higher level. Improvements made especially in areas such as camera and hearing support aim to provide practical solutions in users’ daily lives.
