TechCrunch recently demonstrated an incomplete version of Apple’s upcoming Hearing Test app after Apple’s “Glowtime” event. The test is similar to clinical tests, prompting individuals to tap the display when they detect gradually increasing tones of various frequencies.
**Integration into iOS 18**
The Hearing Test will be integrated into iOS 18, pending FDA approval for both the test and the newly announced hearing aid feature. There is a possibility of approval before iOS 18’s release on September 16, but it is not guaranteed.
**Usage and Limitations**
Users with mild to moderate hearing loss can enable the hearing aid feature, whether diagnosed through the app or a third-party test. However, individuals with no hearing loss or severe/profound loss will not have access to the feature. In such cases, the app will recommend consulting a hearing specialist.
**Features and Accessibility**
The hearing aid feature will be exclusively available for the second-generation AirPods Pro at launch. It can be accessed through iOS settings once AirPods are paired. The app will create a custom sound profile based on test results, enhancing various audio experiences.
Overall, Apple’s innovative approach to personalized sound profiles through the AirPods Pro Hearing Test could revolutionize the audio experience for users, potentially setting the stage for future advancements in user-customizable audio settings.
