“Every day I learn about more and more over-the-counter hearing aids that are being released. There are some notable differences between companies. Apple recently released a software that’s compatible with the AirPod Pro 2. So it allows you to actually go through the steps of checking or screening your hearing. It’s also going to boost environmental sounds for someone who does present with a level of hearing loss."

“You know, we’re all wearing these types of earbuds anyway, so it’s just mainstream. And anybody who is concerned about a little bit of stigma and they want to just look like everybody else, well, you will, because we all have a set of these in our pockets.”
