☆ Apple's surprising new AirPods hearing aid feature might actually be a success
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-28 | by ( Jordan Hart | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Apple's AirPods Pro 2 now feature FDA-approved hearing aid capabilities. The Hearing Aid feature in Apple's AirPods Pro 2 is designed for people with mild to moderate hearing loss, and Apple said it can amplify voices, phone calls, and media sounds. So I sought out an expert in the hearing loss community to get a better understanding of whether we should expect Apple's hearing aids to be a hit or miss. The Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017 made it legal for the FDA to regulate the sale of hearing aids that don't require a prescription or a trip to the audiologist. As the daughter of a woman who suffers from hearing loss, I've witnessed my mother's denial of her struggles.

Residents check the damaged in the aftermath of overnight Israeli bombardment in Beirut's southern suburbs, on September 28, 2024. Smoke could be seen rising over the city's Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs, known as the Dahiyeh. The Israeli military said a missile fired at central Israel on Saturday had struck an open area. There was no immediate confirmation of Nasrallah's fate after Friday's heavy strikes, but a source close to Hezbollah told Reuters he was not reachable. Israel has not said whether it tried to hit Nasrallah, but a senior Israeli official said top Hezbollah commanders were targeted.

☆ Hezbollah mulls response after leader’s killing – but Israel’s next steps matter most
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-28 | by ( Nick Paton Walsh | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —After Hezbollah confirmed the death of its leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli strike, what – if anything – can it do next? So far, we have yet to see a barrage of rockets from Hezbollah that has caused significant (and known) damage to Israeli targets. But if it tries to project strength and fails, owing to Israeli interceptions, that will just compound its loss of face. It has shown an extraordinarily high threshold for pain over the past months and may have a longer view in hand. Yet most profoundly, it is Israel’s next steps that matter most.

He recalled how during the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, there was a sense of hope because several countries were actively mediating. It was formed in 1982, after Israel invaded Lebanon, with the initial aim of ending Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon, which it achieved in 2000. Hezbollah has fired rockets, missiles, and drones into northern Israel; and Israel has responded with increasingly heavy airstrikes. Israel has vowed to do whatever it takes to safely return its citizens to their homes in the north. Hezbollah has also said that it does not seek war but that it will continue striking Israel until there is a cease-fire in Gaza.

It seems hard to believe now, but in 2021, Time named Elon Musk its Person of the Year. Musk’s right-wing turn isn’t universal or even typical: Reporting suggests that even with the rightward turn of several boldface names, Silicon Valley remains heavily Democratic. But right-wing tech bros are exerting a significant and, I’d argue, malign influence on the political landscape. Consider the case of JD Vance, the junior senator from Ohio and Donald Trump’s running mate. He’s a remarkable campaigner — remarkable, that is, in the sense that he seems incredibly bad at it.

The air war is attempting to destroy Hezbollah's long-range missile arsenal, their most threatening weapons for Israelis which Iran provided as a last-resort threat to safeguard its nuclear program. That is one reason it proved reluctant to risk an all-out war between Hezbollah and Israel. Still, it's possible that the destruction of its Hezbollah missile deterrent will convince Iranian officials to build nuclear weapons faster as the ultimate deterrent.
