Bose made a product ~10 years back called Hearphones which were far more capable than what Apple is doing here.

IIRC Jabra earbuds have had "hearing aid" features for years. They, unfortunately, don't help with single side deafness the way the Hearphones do.

Apple isn't doing anything groundbreaking here but they are doing it at a very competitive price. The airpod features also do not help with single side deafness. :(

Have they confirmed these won't support single sided deafness?

I've been waiting to buy them until I confirm support, but their support reps didn't even know.

The people I've talked to that have been using them say there's no setting for it and they don't hear anything like audio picked up on one side routed to the other earbud.
