Can somebody help explain this to me? Can I buy AirPods (looks like they are $159?) and then use them with android? or do I need an iphone? Which Iphone do I need? Is there one without a contract that has this software? Will I eventually be forced to upgrade the phone or it will stop working? Does the software allow me to adjust for the frequency that I need help in? How much do I need to spend?



Buying an iPhone for this feels expensive to me. You might be interested in PSAPs, which are basically hearing aids that haven't gone through the FDA hearing aid bureaucracy: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-personal-sound-amplif...

But to answer your question: You can use AirPods as headphones with Android, but the "Live Listen" feature in the article is an iPhone feature.
