I missed that, but I zoned out on the AirPods stuff because I have only about 30% normal hearing in my right ear because of a childhood illness, so stereo headsets and earpieces don’t work for me. Therefore I just didn’t pay much attention while they were discussing AirPods. I paid $3600 for hearing aids back in 2008 but they really didn’t work that well. But the technology is so much better now that even the OTC kind of hearing aids are probably much better than the ones I bought 13 years ago. I’ll go back and listen to that part of the event to see what was said. I would consider buying AirPods if they can block out background noise. I too am totally lost in a crowd of people talking because all the noise goes into my good ear and overwhelms my ability to comprehend the individual words.

I’m interested in Conversation Boost myself. I have some sort of (unevaluated) hearing deficiency and can’t understand what people more than 2 feet away are saying in a crowd. And I have to plug my ears up when (as is too often the case) live music is too loud.
