As someone slowly and idiopathically losing their hearing, and as someone just... getting older and losing visual acuity...

Thank you, Apple, for taking accessibility seriously and dedicating resources towards it.

I very much appreciate it, and the work of the entire accessibility team.

Have you ever tried the accessibility feature on Android ? Would you recommend one or the other for your use case ?

And what about windows (if you use it) ?

I think that we should all be concerned by the accessibility feature, we never know what is going to happen in life.

I haven’t used Android or Windows in any meaningful way for years, so I cannot comment on them.

I can tell you that the hearing accommodations on the AirPod Pro 2/3 headphones brought literal tears to my eyes because of how fabulous it makes music sound for me.

This is a a LOT more work than just adding an equalizer because you have to do multiband real time compression and expansion, in relation to other frequency bands and respecting band-specific sound energy limits.

I know I might sound like I’m gushing, and I kinda’ am. They didn’t have to put in the time or energy to do that or maintain it and they did ... and for that, like I said, I am extraordinarily grateful.
