I took AirPods Pro 2's Hearing Test and it was mixed news, but everyone should do it right away
- Apple has introduced a Hearing Test feature which allows the creation of an audiogram to help users determine if they have hearing loss.
- The test plays a series of progressively quieter beeps across a range of frequencies and volumes, with users tapping the screen when they hear them.
- The test assesses the fit of earbuds and checks if the environment is quiet enough.
- Despite being told of little to no hearing loss, dips in the author's audiogram suggested mild hearing loss.
- The dip at 4 kHz indicates some degree of noise-induced hearing loss.
- Apple AirPod Pros 2's hearing test is not approved as a clinical-grade hearing aid in the UK, but it provides audiograms to help users monitor hearing decline.
- People with less-than-perfect results should be checked by audiologists since hearing loss is not the only thing they check.
- There is no reason why personalized audiograms can't be used to calibrate the AirPods' performance, but the feature is not available in almost all countries except the US.
- Early detection is essential to maintain good hearing capabilities, audiologists can check the health of ears, and intervention is more beneficial to your communication senses.
- The hearing test serves as a reminder to take care of our ears and not shy away from hearing loss.
