Apple Watch delivers new sleep apnea notifications, and AirPods Pro 2 provide the world\u2019s first all-in-one hearing health experience including a clinical-grade, over-the-counter Hearing Aid feature<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Two<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA<\/strong> Apple today unveiled breakthrough sleep and hearing health features coming to Apple Watch<\/a> and AirPods Pro 2<\/a> that further deliver on Apple\u2019s commitment to health with experiences that enrich users\u2019 lives. These new features expand across products, bringing informative and powerful ways to support users in their sleep and hearing health for conditions that impact billions globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using an innovative new Breathing Disturbances metric, sleep apnea notifications come to Apple Watch, adding to the many ways Apple Watch acts as an intelligent guardian for users\u2019 health. The sleep apnea notifications are expected to receive marketing authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other global health authorities soon, with availability this month in more than 150 countries and regions, including the U.S., the EU, and Japan.1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple is providing the world\u2019s first all-in-one hearing health experience with AirPods Pro with active Loud Sound Reduction,2<\/sup> a clinically validated Hearing Test feature, and an over-the-counter Hearing Aid feature. The first-of-its-kind software-based Hearing Aid feature helps make access to hearing assistance easier than ever at an approachable price point. The Hearing Test and Hearing Aid features are expected to receive marketing authorization from global health authorities soon, and will be available this fall in more than 100 countries and regions, including the U.S., Germany, and Japan.3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Apple, we believe that technology can help you live a healthier life, and we\u2019re excited to enable incredible new health capabilities for serious conditions that affect billions of people around the world, while continuing to keep user data private,\u201d said Sumbul Desai, M.D., Apple\u2019s vice president of Health. \u201cWith Apple Watch, we continue to offer our users the ability to uncover important health conditions with new sleep apnea notifications. And on AirPods Pro, powerful features put users\u2019 hearing health front and center, bringing new ways to help test for and receive assistance for hearing loss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Powerful Way to Detect Signs of Sleep Apnea<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleep is an important area of health as it impacts a person\u2019s overall physical and mental wellbeing. Sleep apnea is a prevalent disorder in which breathing momentarily stops during sleep, preventing the body from getting enough oxygen. The condition is estimated to impact more than 1 billion people worldwide, and in most cases, goes undiagnosed. If left untreated, it can have important health consequences over time, including increased risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiac issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breathing Disturbances is an innovative new Apple Watch metric that uses the accelerometer to detect small movements at the wrist associated with interruptions to normal respiratory patterns during sleep. Every 30 days, Apple Watch will analyze breathing disturbance data and notify users if it shows consistent signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea so they can speak to their doctor about next steps, including potential diagnosis and treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Because overall quality of sleep is important, Breathing Disturbances can also be used to assess restfulness of sleep. Breathing Disturbances can be influenced by alcohol, medications, sleep position, and more. Users can view their nightly Breathing Disturbances in the Health app, where they are classified as elevated or not elevated, and can be viewed over a one-month, six-month, or one-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more informed conversations with their healthcare providers, users can export a PDF that shows when sleep apnea may have occurred, three months of breathing disturbance data, and additional information. Educational articles are also available within the Health app to help users learn more about sleep apnea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sleep apnea notification algorithm was developed using advanced machine learning and an extensive data set of clinical-grade sleep apnea tests. The feature was then validated in a clinical study \u2014 unprecedented in size for sleep apnea technology. In the clinical validation study, every participant identified by the algorithm had at least mild sleep apnea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmpowering consumers everywhere to have the ability to reliably identify the presence of abnormal breathing patterns during sleep can help uncover a woefully underdiagnosed and serious medical condition such as sleep apnea,\u201d said Sairam Parthasarathy, M.D., University of Arizona Health Sciences Center for Sleep, Circadian, and Neurosciences\u2019s professor and director in Tucson, Arizona. \u201cThis is a major step forward in improving public health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep apnea notifications and Breathing Disturbances add to a range of sleep health features for Apple Watch users. In addition to monitoring important overnight health metrics like heart rate and respiratory rate, Apple Watch also helps users meet their sleep goals and track their sleep over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World\u2019s First All-in-One Hearing Health Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Approximately 1.5 billion people around the world are living with hearing loss, according to the World Health Organization. Research has also identified links between hearing loss and impact on a person\u2019s overall wellbeing, including dementia and social isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help users better understand their hearing health, Apple is introducing an end-to-end experience focused on prevention, awareness, and assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prevention<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the Apple Hearing Study \u2014 a longitudinal, virtual public research study conducted in collaboration with the University of Michigan School of Public Health and the World Health Organization \u2014 one in three people are regularly exposed to loud environmental noise levels that can impact their hearing. That can include common scenarios like taking the subway while commuting, mowing the lawn at home, attending a sporting event, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to help users prevent exposure to loud environmental noise while preserving the sound signature of what they\u2019re listening to, Loud Sound Reduction comes to AirPods Pro. The ear tips help to provide passive noise reduction, while the H2 chip helps to actively reduce louder, more intermittent noise at 48,000 times per second. On by default in Transparency and Adaptive Audio listening modes, Loud Sound Reduction is helpful in a variety of loud settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awareness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hearing loss often worsens gradually, leaving many people unaware that they may be living with the condition. Eighty percent of adults in the U.S. have not had their hearing checked in the last five years, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. To give users even more insights into hearing health, Apple is introducing an intuitive, clinical-grade hearing test based on the standard clinical approach called pure-tone audiometry that users can take themselves with their AirPods Pro and a compatible iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can take the convenient test in about five minutes from the comfort of their own home. The Hearing Test feature leverages advanced acoustic science and provides users with an interactive experience. When a user completes the test, they will see an easy-to-understand summary of their results, including a number representing hearing loss in each ear, a classification, and recommendations. The results, which include an audiogram, are stored privately and securely in the Health app, and can be shared with a healthcare provider to have more informed conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hearing<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Hearing Test builds on learnings from the Apple Hearing Study and was developed using large-scale, real-world data. The feature was then validated against the clinical gold standard of pure-tone audiometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHearing health is a cornerstone of overall wellbeing. Protecting and preserving our hearing enhances our quality of life both in the short-term and long-term,\u201d said Rick Neitzel, University of Michigan School of Public Health\u2019s professor of Environmental Health Sciences and principal investigator of the Apple Hearing Study. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled Apple is introducing important tools to support people\u2019s hearing health. These tools will help people protect their ears from noise pollution, be aware of changes in their hearing over time, and have important conversations with their healthcare providers when they need additional support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Learning about hearing loss is a critical step to getting necessary assistance, which can often be challenging due to cost and access. Global research shows hearing loss often goes untreated. In fact, the Apple Hearing Study revealed that 75 percent of people diagnosed with hearing loss haven\u2019t received the assistive support that they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AirPods Pro add an innovative over-the-counter Hearing Aid capability for users with mild to moderate hearing loss. Using the personalized hearing profile from the Hearing Test, this new feature seamlessly transforms AirPods Pro into a clinical-grade hearing aid. After setup, the feature enables personalized dynamic adjustments so users have the sounds around them boosted in real time. This helps them better engage in conversation, and keeps them connected to the people and environment around them. With the incredible audio quality of AirPods Pro, the user\u2019s personalized hearing profile is automatically applied to music, movies, games, and phone calls across their devices, without needing to adjust any settings. Users can also set up the Hearing Aid feature with an audiogram created by a hearing health professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Hearing Aid feature was clinically validated in a controlled, randomized study that evaluated the perceived benefit of the feature and its custom settings compared to an audiologist-assisted setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After taking the Hearing Test, the user\u2019s hearing profile can also help to personalize the AirPods Pro listening experience for even more people, including those with little to no hearing loss who can still benefit from specific adjustments at individual frequencies. To help provide the best listening experience, Media Assist is an all-new feature that helps boost certain parts of speech on a phone call or instruments within a soundtrack to help an even broader population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These features build on the hearing health tools Apple currently offers its users. For example, with the Noise app, Apple Watch users can enable notifications for when environmental noise levels might affect their hearing health. On iPhone, users can set a headphone volume limit where they can turn on Reduce Loud Audio and drag a slider to a preferred decibel level. Apple also offers additional accessibility features for users to customize settings to meet their hearing needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor decades, Apple has led the way in designing products for everyone and supporting users with a broad spectrum of hearing abilities,\u201d said Sarah Herrlinger, Apple\u2019s senior director of Global Accessibility Policy and Initiatives. \u201cThese features on AirPods Pro will make an impact on so many people by driving more awareness around hearing health and empowering individuals with new customizable tools to help them stay connected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional features coming to Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The new\u00a0Vitals app<\/strong>\u00a0on Apple Watch gives users a way to check in on their daily health status and view key overnight health metrics, like heart rate and respiratory rate, and gain better context when it comes to their health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • The\u00a0Health app<\/strong>\u00a0offers additional support for pregnant users to reflect changes in their physical and mental health during this important time. Users can view the current gestational age and log symptoms in Cycle Tracking. Apple Watch users can also receive recommendations to review features like high heart rate notifications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Time spent journaling<\/strong>\u00a0can be saved as mindful minutes in the Health app, and users can log their state of mind right in Journal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Since launching the Health app in 2014, Apple has introduced meaningful features that focus on 18 areas of health and fitness across Apple Watch, AirPods, iPhone, and iPad. Apple is committed to empowering users on their health journey by building actionable features into the products they use every day that are grounded in science, and have privacy at the core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Built with Privacy at the Core<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Privacy is fundamental in the design and development across all of Apple\u2019s health features. When a user\u2019s device is locked with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID, all of their health and fitness data in the Health app \u2014 other than Medical ID \u2014 is encrypted. Any Health data backed up to iCloud is encrypted both in transit and on Apple servers. When using iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS with the default two-factor authentication and a passcode, Health app data synced to iCloud is encrypted end-to-end, meaning that Apple does not have the key to decrypt the data and therefore cannot read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
