After first announcing Conversation Boost as
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/07/ios-15-airpods/> coming with iOS 15 back in
June, Apple officially released the feature with the
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/10/05/apple-releases-new-firmware-version-for-airp
ods-airpods-pro-airpods-max-and-beats-products/> latest AirPods Pro firmware
update. However, the toggle is quite buried in Accessibility settings,

included it in the AirPods Pro firmware beta 4A362b. While the company says
the feature is mostly aimed at those who are hard of hearing, it can be used
by anyone. Essentially, the feature is a proxy for hearing aids (although

Conversation Boost is available for everyone.
