Apple’s AirPods Pro hearing health features are as good as they sound

Apple announced a trio of major new hearing health features for the #AirPods Pro 2 in September, including clinical-grade hearing aid functionality, a hearing test, and more robust hearing protection.

All three will roll out next week with the release of iOS 18.1, and they could mark a watershed moment for hearing health awareness.

#Apple is about to instantly turn the world’s most popular earbuds into an over-the-counter #HearingAid.

Custom blocks in themes will not pass #WordPress theme review, but you can still customize core blocks! You can do a lot with a className.

But if you're building a plugin, you have Justin's permission to go wild, use custom attributes even.
