Reviews
One of them was extremely bad after couple of years and they told me at Apple Store I have to replace for almost $100. I couldn’t afford that. It is very expensive.
Mike.
Honestly, didn't want to step foot in a hearing aid place or even admit that I have a problem... I saw the video about airpods pro 2 working like hearing aids and decided to give it a try.
Laura.
At first I had a few audio dropouts but Apple seems to have fixed that with the latest firmware, and in terms of helping me hear, they definitely do that. I don't know that I want to take these out to dinner yet though.
