Apple AirPods Pro 2 can work as hearing aids

Apple didn't launch new AirPod Pros at its recent event. However, it introduced new features to the AirPods Pro 2 to help improve or at least protect your hearing. Apple introduced an "end-to-end hearing health experience" that introduces features to ensure your hearing health is good. The most notable feature turns the Apple AirPods Pro 2 into a hearing aid.

But that isn't coming to Canada yet, so let's talk about what we are getting first. The aptly named Hearing Protection shields your ears from loud environmental noise while preserving the sound signature of what you're listening to. The ear tips already offer some passive noise reduction, while its H2 chip helps actively reduce louder sounds at 48,000 times per second.

'Tetris Forever' brings classic 'Tetris' titles in this docu-game bundle

If you want to learn more about the history of Tetris while playing a few rounds of Tetris, you'd want to check out Tetris Forever. This newest documentary/game bundle from Digital Eclipse was announced at the Nintendo Direct event. Of course, it will be coming to the Nintendo Switch but it's also coming to the PC and other platforms later this year.

Tetris Forever gives you an interactive digital museum, complete with documentary clips about the game, and actual games you can play. This title includes 15 Tetris games, from an "accurate" version of the first Tetris for the Electronika 60 to an NES version, and more. There is also a new take called Tetris Time Warp, where you can jump "between gameplay styles from across the series" in real time as you compete against up to four players. There is no specific release date or pricing yet. But it's expected to come out this year.
