Until now, Apple has relied on several third-party manufacturers for 'Made for iPhone' hearables that help people with hearing loss benefit from its Live Listen feature. Live Listen helps those with hearing imparity to listen clearly in adverse environments. But with launch iOS 12, users will be able to experience the feature on AirPods.

This means that with this support, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch users will not need to buy separate Made for iPhone products to take the advantage of Live Listen.

Apple introduced the Live Listen feature in 2014 for people with limited hearing capabilities. When enabled, the feature turns iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch into a remote microphone that sends sound to Made for iPhone hearing aid. Live Listen can help a user hear a conversation in a noisy room or hear someone speaking across the room.

Apple is reported to be developing a feature that will help people with limited hearing capabilities listen to conversations clearly in adverse environments. It is expected to be announced in September with the launch of next line-up of iPhones.
