How to Turn on Noise Canceling When Wearing One AirPod Pro
Noise cancellation is one of the best features of AirPods Pro – until one AirPod pops out of your ear and you return to transparency mode. While transparency mode is good for situations where you need to hear ambient sounds, no one wants to switch to transparency mode just because they accidentally pulled one AirPod out of their ear. To work around this issue, you can ask AirPods Pro to turn on noise canceling even if you’re only using one AirPod.
This feature may seem like a small thing to most people, but for people with hearing loss in one ear, it makes a big difference. This is just one of several great accessibility features for AirPods and AirPods Pro. Here’s how to use them.
How to turn on noise canceling with one AirPod
To turn on one-ear noise canceling on AirPods Pro, you need to open Settings on your iPhone or iPad and choose Accessibility> AirPods . Here you can turn on noise canceling with One AirPod . This will allow you to keep noise canceling even when listening through one AirPod.
How to Slow Down Double Tap Action for Your AirPods
