Apple hasn’t had the best of luck with commercials this year, but they pushed out one that carries an emotional punch heading into the holidays. Called HeartStrings it highlights new hearing health features users with AirPods Pro 2 can take advantage of to use them as hearing aids.
Users can run a hearing test that according to Apple provides “scientifically validated results within minutes and the ability to activate a clinical-grade Hearing Aid Feature on your AirPods Pro 2.” I took the test and my hearing rated just fine, but if you’d like to read how one user tested this out, I recommend checking out What It’s Like to Hear Better with AirPods Pro 2 by John Voorhees on MacStories.
The commercial certainly belongs in the warm and fuzzy holiday genre and in my opinion is quite well done. It certainly is a better approach than crushing up some musical instruments.
