With active noise-canceling and solid sound quality, Apple AirPods Pro are some of the best earbuds you can pair with your iPhone, but they can do a lot more than deliver great sound. No matter your age, it's important to do what you can to slow or prevent hearing loss, and AirPods Pro may actually be able to help with that. AirPods Pro 2 and 3 models have built-in hearing test and hearing aid features that are worth looking into, whether you think you're experiencing hearing loss or not.
