Macworld For the second time in as many weeks, Apple has updated the firmware for AirPods Pro 2 (both USB-C and Lightning variants). Apple has not yet posted release notes for this firmware update, but will do so at this support page.

Apple received the first-ever FDA authorization for hearing aid software on September 12. There has been some evidence that the latest iOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 include the code for this feature, but it is not yet activated in the beta. It is quite possible that Apple will enable it with a server-side switch when it is ready, and these frequent AirPods Pro 2 firmware updates may be the result of rigorous internal testing of the feature.
