  "textContent": "Apple today said Hearing Aid features are now available for the AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 3 in Italy, Romania, and Czechia, while Hypertension alerts have expanded to Israel.\n\n\nThe Hearing Aid option allows the AirPods Pro to be used as an over-the-counter alternative to a traditional set of hearing aids. The AirPods Pro can improve sound to mitigate mild to moderate hearing loss, adjusting voices and sounds around the user to improve hearing. It can also set music, videos, and phone calls to optimal sound levels using a personalized hearing profile created after taking a Hearing Test.\n\nLoud Sound Reduction also prevents hearing damage from loud ambient noise by cutting down on high-decibel sound when using Transparency and Adaptive modes.\n\nHearing Aid capabilities are available with the AirPods Pro 2 and ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ when paired with a device running iOS 26/iPadOS 26 or later.\n\nIn Israel, users will be able to get an alert if the Apple Watch detects signs of chronic high blood pressure. Alerts use data collected from the heart rate sensor over a 30-day period.\nHypertension alerts are available on the Apple Watch Series 9 and later and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later.\n\nRelated Roundups: AirPods 4, Apple Watch 11\n\nBuyer's Guide: AirPods (Neutral), Apple Watch (Caution)\n\nRelated Forum: AirPods\n\n\nThis article, \"Apple Watch Hypertension Alerts and AirPods Hearing Aid Feature Expand to More Countries\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
