"Hearing Aid Feature" (HAF), te OTC tuatahi o nga rorohiko awhina whakarongo kua whiwhi mana hokohoko na te FDA. Ko nga taringa hototahi kua whakauruhia ki tenei rorohiko hei awhina whakarongo ki te whakanui i nga oro mo te hunga he ngoikore te rongo. Ko te awhina a te tohunga whakarongo penei i te tohunga ororongo kaore e hiahiatia ki te whakarite i te rorohiko/taputapu kia tutuki nga hiahia whakarongo.
Kua whakamanahia e te FDA te raupaparorohiko awhina whakarongo (OTC) tuatahi. Ka oti te whakauru me te whakarite ki nga hiahia whakarongo a te kaiwhakamahi, ka taea e te rorohiko nga putanga hototahi o nga taringa "Apple AirPods Pro" hei awhina whakarongo hei whakakaha ake i nga oro mo te hunga he ngoikore te rongo.
E kiia ana ko te "Hearing Aid Feature" (HAF), he tono rongoa waea pūkoro-anake ka whakaritea ma te taputapu iOS (hei tauira, iPhone, iPad). Whai muri i te whakaturanga i te rorohiko ki runga i nga putanga hototahi o te AirPods Pro, ka taea e nga kaiwhakamahi te whakatika i te oro, oro me nga tautuhinga toenga mai i te iOS HealthKit. Karekau he awhina a te tohunga whakarongo ki te whakarite i te rorohiko/taputapu kia tutuki nga hiahia whakarongo.
Ko te whakamanatanga hokohoko mo te rorohiko "Hearing Aid Feature" ki a Apple Inc. i ahu mai i runga i tana arotake haumanu i roto i tetahi rangahau i nga waahi maha i Amerika. I whakatauritehia e te rangahau te "HaF self-fitting approach" ki te huarahi whakauru ngaio. Ko nga kitenga karekau he paanga kino, a, i whiwhi nga tangata takitahi o nga roopu e rua i nga painga rite tonu mo te whakakaha oro me te mohio ki te korero.
Ko tenei whanaketanga e whai ana i nga ture awhina whakarongo OTC a FDA i whai mana i te tau 2022. Kua whakamanahia e tenei ture nga tangata e maharahia ana he ngoikore te rongo ki te hoko taonga whakarongo mai i nga toa, i nga kaihokohoko ipurangi me te kore e hiahia ki te tirotiro hauora, ki te whakahaunga, ki te toro atu ranei ki tetahi tohunga whakarongo. .
Ko te ngoikoretanga o te rongo he raru nui mo te hauora o te ao. I Amerika anake, neke atu i te 30 miriona nga taangata e pa ana ki te ngoikore o te rongo. E mohiotia ana tenei ahuatanga e pa ana ki te heke o te mohiotanga, te pouri me etahi atu ahuatanga hauora i waenga koroheke iwi.
