helping the elderly too now. seriously. Gary is such a respectable man and has helped millions across the globe and made our lives far easier.

Oh this an absolutely brilliant video. I’m going to try with my hearing aids, this could be super helpful! Thanks 🙏

Great video! Did know about the feature since I'm using hearing aids with iPhone, but surely this must be super helpful for those either waiting for their hearing aids, or for those in a situation where aids are not viable due to the general mess of the world and economy.

Gary..this is very useful for me. I tried it out immediately and was amazed at how well it works ! I will be using this when I go out to restaurants and see how it works with a bunch of gals talking and all the ambient background noise which keeps me from hearing them well. Thanks !

Gary it's still works with my 1st gen airpods and with iphone SE(older one).

I tried it works great thank you Gary for another great tip

I clicked on this SO QUICKLY! This is exactly what I need! Not always for everyday use, but more frequently than I wish to confess to! Thank you so very much! I’m going to use it with my Mini iPad in my classes. 👍🏾

Interesting feature, thanks Gary..!

I appreciate the good good tips sir..... thank you

It is a great feature. I doesn't replace my hearing aids and won't in the near future, but what it can do is help me when I go for a walk listening to music or a book, and I meet someone I want to talk to. Instead of having to swap my Airpod Pros for my aids I can use Live Listen.I really want  to keep improving this feature because it could be a game changer for people like me with hearing difficulties. Thanks for bringing this up, Gary.

AWESOME and thanks ! 🙏

You informed me a very useful information.

Thank you very much, i used my ipad and worked great!😎

Whoa! Thanks for explaining in English I just watch another video he did not explain live listening I was wondering why I couldn't hear anything. Fantastic Video

Thanks bunches

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️

Thank you for the info. I just recently got a new pair of air pods and am still learning about them. This is a great feature that I will definitely be using. I don’t wear hearing aids yet, but I do deal with some hearing loss/tinnitus. I will be using it to hear the tv without disturbing the rest of the family or while they’re trying to sleep.

This is really cool! I'm using AirPods Pro and an I-X. Works for me! Thanks.

Awesome!

I tried it with my Signia hearing aids and unfortunately there is an echo which makes the function useless. I think I have to figure out how to switch the mic off on the hearing aids.

How do you use it

Thanks Gary for this information. I had no clue I could do this with my iPhone and air pods. I am supposed to wear hearing aides but, haven't because they interfere with earphones and I am a little evil and don't wear them to irritate the wife sometimes. LOL!!! This will help a lot when we are watching TV she has this uncontrollable urge to talk during shows and movies. I think she is paying me back for not wearing my hearing aides. LOL!!

"Hearing" knows my Bose QC earbuds are in my ipod touch but will not connect for "Listen Live" I guess not compatible ...

Thank you so !!!! I’m in happy tears right now😭 My stupid tv is low anyways because they want you to buy all these extra speakers and stuff nowadays. I should’ve kept my old TV that I had for more than 20 years. And with not being able to hear so good… now I can put my phone right up to the TV and hear my DVD’s and VHS movies threw my AirPods 😭❤❤❤❤❤ Not all of us older folks can deal with all this new Technology. So happy with my iPhone and my AirPods. That’s enough for me for now. People don’t even believe me when I say I don’t have a computer🤣 i sure do appreciate your video big thumbs up! Much appreciation from Texas!!!!!

From Heinrich Fickler. Sounds very interesting. I tried to test it immediately - but without success - the list of compatible headphone models is very limited. My Powerbeats 3 are not compatible -sorry. Best regards - Heinrich

Gary, you keep amazing me. This is the BEST. My children thank you in advance 🗣.

There is NO hearing app in the control center page once added. This is an old video, so that may be the problem.

Thank you….

My husband has an android phone. Is there anything they can do?

On my phone I click volume button 2 times fast for this menu

I wonder if there’s an app for equalizing the sound to accommodate for hearing losses of specific frequencies?

Hi Garry. Can one adjust different amplifications for different frequencies , like in hearing aids?

I have the first version of airpod pros. They seem to be incompatible with Live Listening. Must I have airpod pro 2?

Help how do you get the background off when you are on live listen and we have it turned off in accessibility

Can the AirPods Pro 2 (2nd gen) utilize its own microphone instead of the one in an iPhone? If not, is there a latency problem when using the iPhone's mike?

Looking for some help if possible. Got this setup for my dad (using 3rd generation AirPods) and Live Listen works but it picks up his voice as well through the mircophone and causes an echo/reverb, which makes it unusable. Is there any way it can negate his own voice being fed back to him please?

Any idea why this doesn't this work with any/all listening gizmos, e.g. wired earbuds? Is Apple using the app as a way to drive sales of its AirPods?

I'm a bit surprised that you did not mention the Airpod Pro is able to import your audiogram, to better match and help with your hearing loss. With the incorporation of your audiogram, the Airpod Pro is a major step closer to a prescription hearing aid.

In fact many Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids can also take advantage of Live Listen. I use Oticon MiniRite aids which do work with Live Listen although the quality is far inferior to the hearing aids internal microphones.

Is this the "conversation boost" feature I've heard about? If not, what's the difference?

I used this video to help me connect my husbands hearing aids to his iPhone music. Thank you.

is can use Beats studio buds with iPhone hearing aids ?

Aside from not matching frequency loss as properly fitted hearing aids do, what is its effect on daily battery life? Hearing aids can work from getting up to bedtime for several days. iPhones not so much, unfortunately.

I need help I think my keyboard is broken it hits two letters at once for example if I press H it ends up as HN and I don’t know how to fix it

Does it ONLY work with apple pods/Beats?

but i found it less amplification

Hello..Helpful vidoe. Thanks for sharing. One question - How to "PAUSE" "Hearing aid" - "background sound" -stream, rain etc while we using Airpods pro #2 ? I do this "PAUSE" manually everytime going to my iphone 13 pro max . Can we "PAUSE" it using bluetooth airpods pro #2 ? I tried but it is not working.

Why doesn’t it let me switch for live listen 😢

I have a question. Will it work with mi headphone? I don’t have Apple AirPods

Oh god!! I am not a deaf!! I can’t remove the ocean background noise… please tell me how to remove if

Hi how do I remove it from my phone ?

Can I use the earpieces that comes with my iPhone to work this

In general hearing loss means that you miss the higher frequencies. The result is that you won't hear the difference between 'S' and 'F' or 'P' and 'T' (etc.), which makes conversations confusing. Amplifying the sound does not remedy this. Hearing aids function like equalizers, they compensate by boosting the missing frequencies. Hearing aids are just as personal as glasses, they come with a prescription designed for your own needs. No one else can listen with my hearing aids. Please don't create the illusion that amplification solves hearing loss problems.

Can I use my MacBook with Airpods?

Always some latency though

I am a spy and I find this feature very useful

How to turn it off

My Wife and I think you ❤❤

My ears loss upto 80% can I use it

Unbelievable nobody mentions the audio lag / delay that creates an echo when using live listen. Would otherwise be super helpful… but the echo is NOT.

Why would I use my iPhone when I have two microphones in the AirPods!

do you know if we can use both sides microphone? .... like to ride a bike with your wife, split the sides and we can have a conversation?

You made the money that went into my AirPods go down the drain

You liar now my AirPods won’t work

I don’t like the way you teach

Wow Gary! This may be the most useful and life changing video I’ve gotten from you in a while. I knew it was possible, but you’ve pushed me to really give it a go. My biggest problem is conversation in a high ambient-noise environment such as a restaurant (in NYC lots of restaurants depend on high noise levels to attract passersby). But I didn’t realize the possibility of TV enhancement with a partner. This could definitely stop the remote wrestling match. Thank you!👏👏👏🦻
