Apple's AirPod Pro 2 Application for UK Hearing Aid Approval Confirmed
The MHRA have been telling people who call or email that they haven’t
received an application for the use of the AirPod Pro 2s as hearing aids
in the UK and it turns out to be wrong. They said exactly the same to me today and it is incorrect.
I spoke to both Apple and the MHRA on the phone today and it finally paid off.
The MHRA gave me a phone number for Apple and the women I spoke to at Apple was at the first level of customer service and escalated the problem. I had asked if Apple had applied for approval for the use of the AirPod Pro 2s as hearing aids for the UK.
I wrote to Tim Cook a couple of weeks ago regarding the approval for the UK for the AirPods and he passed my email to the Vice President of Apple Health who replied.
Fast forward to today with the wrong information from the MHRA and I emailed the information back to the VP about what they had said.
He sent me a copy of the document showing that Apple have applied for it.
I now have high hopes that things will happen soon regarding MHRA approval in the UK. It's been quite a fruitful day as so many were contacting the MHRA and getting wrong information.
