If this isn't already a feature baked into iOS (vs. third-party app), as Green242's post seems to suggest, then it's perfectly plausible that it's coming. Frequency-selective amplification and shifting is not a new or difficult task for modern audio processors.
It is in the iOS connected with the health app, which reads the audiogram and sets up the AirPod Pros, a simplified version of an equalizer. Much simpler. but works to a point in my case.

I'm thinking of finally jumping into TWS for my specific use case: strictly using with macOS (M1Pro Macbook Pro) for things like video conference calls, Youtube and Netflix. I just like the idea of being able to move about while not having to carry my MBP with me across the room (when using wired IEMs/buds as I do currently).

I'll be really interested in reading user impressions about sound quality of the Pro 2. I had a chance to use the OG Pro a few months ago for a few days. They were "fine" from a sound quality aspect. My preference would be for better sound (I know, I know...super subjective) with this version. I'll likely buy anyway, but it'd be nice to know that a device I'll probably need to replace in a couple/several years (due to eventual battery degradation, if nothing else) is at least "worth it" to me from a sound quality aspect.

I have been reluctant to buy-to-try non-Apple TWS thus far; I'm not certain if I need to worry about things like audio/video syncing issues. Sooo, got plenty of research to do before the Pro 2 are released.
 
Will you try to be funny?
My dry (lame?) sense of humour automatically responds with - it'll use the remaining battery in the AirPods to try and 'zap' you back to life. Hate to be the person with only 1% battery left! :D
I got the FiiO KA3. Very impressed with it so far. The headphones are a pair of DT 990 Pro.
Decent specs. I hadn't heard of the headphone brand so that's good to know. Also, why do you need a pair of them, isn't one enough? ;) (Crap joke)
 
Found this doctor off AUD on YouTube who explains the process. If you don't have an audiogram you can make your own with the Mimi app, it links for a download when you set them up with the health app.



Hope that helps!

My bad English fooled me for a second (Aids = HIV/Aids and not hearing aids. Enough internet for today)

so look I know no-one actually knows this, but what are the rumours saying about when these might launch? am I waiting for the iPhone event likely in September, or might here be a sooner announcement?

Asking because I think I managed to leave my second gen AirPods in the Levi's changing room when trying on some jeans yesterday 😭 Want to go pro as a replacement but if a new gen is coming relatively soon I might as well wait.

Likely either the September phone event or an October event for updated M2 devices or maybe some M2 Pro devices

my guess would be September.

As someone who wears hearing aids, that function would be amazing. Obviously my actual hearing aids would work better but since I cant wear both at the same time it would be great to have that functionality while using my airpods. That would be worth the upgrade alone.
