As someone who's worn hearing aides for almost a decade, I'm thrilled to see this.

To give folks a sense of the cost difference, here are some numbers:

My most recent pair of hearing aides cost $4,400 in 2020. And no, these are not covered by any kind of insurance.

AirPods Pro 2 cost $250, about a 95% reduction in price.

My most recent service on one of my hearing aides that was failing cost $280.

Also, I'm really looking forward to being able to manage things like audio curves myself, vs having to go through an audiologist for every adjustment.

The only thing I'm waiting for here before making a switch is better battery life, really want 18/24hours there.
