A very useful AirPods upgrade looks set to finally launch in the UK, and it could arrive as soon as next month. It's just been confirmed that Apple's new "Hearing Aid" function should be made available in the coming weeks, and that's good news for anyone who suffers from mild hearing issues.

Last September, Apple announced a massive upgrade for its AirPods Pro 2. That was designed to place hearing protection at the front and centre of its remit, offering a range of new features and functionality.

An Apple AirPods Pro 2 upgrade is the capability to use the earbuds as hearing aid. Changes in U.K. regulations mean Apple will upgrade the software imminently.
