Samsung Wins FDA Clearance for Galaxy Buds Hearing Health, Rivaling AirPods

Samsung announced that its Galaxy Buds have been cleared by the U.S. FDA to provide over-the-counter hearing-aid functionality in the United States, joining Apple in offering clinically graded hearing support. The feature uses a five-minute self-administered hearing test and an audiogram to tailor amplification in the Galaxy Buds3 Pro and Buds4 Pro, with noise reduction and beamforming to focus on sounds in front.
