i spent 200 for airpod pro and 200 for a 9th gen ipad and i have hearing aidsmy 5000 pairs are broken and this is a pretty good replacement for now  it took a bit of figuring out how to get the ipad to do what was needed but once that part was done i can wear the earbuds full time as hearing aids  the reason for 4 stars instead of 5  the drawbacks i read about are accurate  the battery life is about 6 hours so i have to charge them in the middle of the day  and the volume range could be much better  i know the volume capability of the earbuds and the hearing amplification doesnt use more than a small fraction  and the voice amplification is pretty good but they also amplify background noises like clicking of silverware on plates way more than they should  if these items are improved 5 stars for sureif you are considering this heres some tips i wish i knew  first absolutely use mimi for the hearing test  then activate your hearing profile in apple health and enable it for the earbuds  to get them in hearing aid mode i go the bluetooth settings sync the earbuds to the ipad  an airpod pro item appears in settings  i select that and the controls are there  thats all there is to it  i can turn off the ipad and go about my day  when i recharge the earbuds and put them back in they are still in hearing aid mode so i almost never even need the ipadupdate  to get the last bit of volume out of hearing aid mode be sure to turn off conversation boost  it turns the airpods into directional mikes and boosts whatever is directly in front of you by decreasing the volume of everything else  turning it off gave me a noticeable increase in volume  be sure to try it
