Apple releases results from hearing health study
Way back in 2019, Apple launched Research. The app was the latest effort by a company looking to take a more serious approach to user health, built (naturally) around data collected from the iPhone and Apple Watch. The app debuted with four studies: heart health, women’s health, movement and hearing.
Today, the company is issuing results from the latter, conducted alongside the University of Michigan School of Public Health, a day prior to World Hearing Day. Hearing loss is an issue the company has looked to tackle, due in no small part to its large and growing involvement in the headphone category.
