Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Ledger Live and Ledger hardware wallets are now compatible with ENS names. This can help simplify the user experience and enhance transaction security. The integration utilizes Ledger's new Trusted Name Service, which ensures secure mapping between ENS and Ethereum hexadecimal addresses. Since Ethereum’s hexadecimal addresses are long and complicated, ENS enables users to replace these addresses with simpler, human-readable aliases, reducing transaction errors. With this update, the hardware wallet’s display can now show these ENS addresses, which further facilitates easier transaction verification. Currently, only ENS is supported, but according to Ledger, compatibility with more networks and namespace providers will be added in the future.
