I live in India and I have been using hearing aid feature since at least March when I bought Airpods Pro. Only that it wasn’t called as such earlier. It uses the audiogram I had provided it which it used to create a customized equalizer for my hearing disability. I am sure they must have improved upon the capability in new OS versions but functionally it has been present for a while now.



I suppose the difference is 1st party support for creating the audiogram, plus the clearance from the US gov to market it the way they want as OTC hearing aids


It also applied the same profile to both ears, which matters for some. My hearing loss is highly asymmetric.


Does it still do that? I understand it had problems with asymetric hearing loss earlier.


Still did it on 18.0. It just averaged the two ears into a single profile.
