let's talk about our most popular and the single bestselling headphone in the world, AirPods Pro. This design with ear tips provides an incredible audio experience that includes active noise cancellation, a crystal-clear transparency mode, and the longest battery life. And now, we're adding profound new benefits that can expand the role AirPods play in our lives. Here's Suble to tell you more. Today, we're introducing three major health features for AirPods Pro 2, focused on prevention, awareness, and assistance. Let's start with prevention. One in three people are regularly exposed to environmental noise levels that could impact their hearing. To put this into perspective, there are all kinds of sounds that can be concerning in daily life, whether that's commuting, mowing the lawn at home, or when you're headed to that next event. The more you're exposed, the more it can impact your hearing. To help our users minimize their exposure, we're adding hearing protection to AirPods Pro on by default across listening modes. The ear tips help to provide passive noise

reduction whether you're attending a live show or playing at the show machine learning on the H2 chip actively reduces louder, more intermittent noise at 48,000 times per second. Next, let's talk about awareness. Because hearing loss often worsens gradually, it can be really hard to detect. To give you insight into your hearing health, we're introducing a clinically validated hearing test with your AirPods Pro and iPhone. It's a simple 5-minute check you can take from the comfort of your own home. All you need to do is tap the screen when you hear a series of tones at different volumes and frequencies. The hearing test builds on learnings from the Apple hearing study and was developed using large-scale real-world data. It was validated against the clinical gold standard of pure tone audiometry. Once you're done, you'll see easy-to-understand results in a personalized hearing profile. The Apple hearing study revealed that a staggering 75% of people diagnosed with hearing loss haven't

received the assistive support they need, so we are really excited to announce that this fall, AirPods Pro will have a clinical-grade over-the-counter hearing aid feature. We're adding this groundbreaking capability to help more than 1 billion people living with mild to moderate hearing loss. After you take a hearing test, your AirPods Pro are transformed into a personalized hearing aid, boosting the specific sounds you need in real-time, like parts of speech or elements within your environment. This will allow you to hear your surroundings better, to help keep you safe and connect you with people nearby, so it's even easier to hear and engage in conversations. Happy birthday, Mom. We're here to celebrate you, and I'm so proud to be called your son. And with the amazing audio quality of AirPods Pro, your hearing profile is automatically applied to music, movies, and phone calls across all your devices without needing to adjust any settings at all. We are so excited for these updates coming to AirPods Pro 2, delivering the world's first all-in-one experience with active

hearing protection, a clinical-grade hearing test, and an easy-to-use professional-grade hearing aid. We expect to receive clearance from the FDA and other regulators soon, with the availability of the hearing test and hearing aid features this fall in over 100 countries and regions, including the US, Germany, and Japan. These features will be available in a software update coming to AirPods Pro 2 and iOS 18 to help make hearing health significantly more approachable for so many people.
