On Monday, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) announced a new feature in its AirPods Pro 2, aiming to transform the hearing health experience. This feature will offer an end-to-end hearing health experience, including active Hearing Protection, a scientifically validated Hearing Test, and a clinical-grade Hearing Aid feature.
周一，苹果公司（纳斯达克股票代码：AAPL）宣布了其AirPods Pro 2的一项新功能，旨在改变听力健康体验。该功能将提供端到端的听力健康体验，包括主动听力保护、经过科学验证的听力测试和临床级助听器功能。
What Happened: With an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide suffering from hearing loss, as per the World Health Organization, Apple has developed a comprehensive solution focused on prevention, awareness, and assistance.
发生了什么：根据世界卫生组织的数据，全球估计有15人患有听力损失，Apple 开发了一种侧重于预防、宣传和援助的全面解决方案。
The Hearing Protection feature will help users avoid exposure to loud environmental noise, while the Hearing Test feature will allow users to check their hearing at home. The results of this test will be used to create a personalized hearing profile for each user.
听力保护功能将帮助用户避免暴露在较大的环境噪音中，而听力测试功能将允许用户在家中检查听力。该测试的结果将用于为每位用户创建个性化的听力配置文件。
The typical prescription hearing aids cost $2,000 to $7,000 which makes them inaccessible to millions who need them.
