Can AirPods Replace Hearing Aids? We Put Them to the Test

In this video, we compare Apple’s built-in hearing aid feature in AirPods Pro 2 with some of the best over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids on the market. That includes Sony’s invisible in-ear CRE-C20, Sennheiser’s behind-the-ear All Day Clear, and Nuance Audio’s unique hearing glasses. We break down what works, what doesn’t, and how these tools fit into real-life hearing support. 👇 Links Mentioned: Sony CRE-C20 (Invisible In-Ear): https://www.soundly.com/product/sony-...
