                                    [Your Earbuds Are Becoming Hearing Aids](/blogs/types-technology/earbuds-becoming-hearing-aids-india)
                                
                                Something quietly historic just happened in the world of hearing. Samsung's Galaxy Buds have received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to work as over-the-counter hearing aids - joining Apple, whose AirPods Pro got the same green light in 2024 [1][2][3]. In plain words: the ordinary earbuds in millions of pockets can now run a five-minute hearing test and gently boost sound for adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss, using NAL-NL2 - the very same fitting formula audiologists use for costly prescription devices [1]. It sounds like a gadget story. But it may be the start of a much bigger shift - especially for India. Here is what is real, what is hype, and what it could mean for your ears.
