Hello Filip, why don't you also mention Slovakia? https://www.apple.com/airpods-pro/feature-availability/
Good morning, the feature has been available in Slovakia for a long time.
Any experiences? Hearing aids cost about ten times as much, so is it even worth it?
If a person doesn't need a hearing aid from morning to night and only needs it for certain occasions, such as shopping, going to the doctor, at home when a visitor comes, etc., then it's great. Both of my parents use them and they can't praise them enough. It's clear that you don't want to have headphones in your ears all day, but you can easily endure it for 3-4 hours if you need to. Previously, you just had to take your phone to DE together with the headphones, activate the service and then it would be functional forever...
I have Widex hearing aids, one cost 27 thousand. It can't be compared to that and it's not supposed to be a competition. But otherwise, it works surprisingly well and it really helps a person.
