AirPods Hearing Test not showing on iPhone

I have just updated my software to iOS 18.1 but still cannot access the hearing aid functionality on my AirPods pro 2. What could be the problem?

My air pods pro 2 updated today to 7B19 and it still doesn’t have the hearing aid test. Anybody else?

I updated to iOS 18.1 and the feature still does not show. anybody else?

Just updated airpods pro 2 (usb-c version) today to 7B19 and also updated phone to ios 18.0.1, and the option for the hearing test is not available.

In Canada. Updated today to 18.1 and bought AirPods pro2 specifically for this hearing feature. AirPods updated to 7b19. Feature not available in the AirPods hearing health section. What is interesting is I reboot the phone and then go to the AirPods section it shows greyed out for a few seconds then disappears back to just showing Hearing Protection in Hearing Health 🤷🏻‍♂️

I bought a pair of Apple AirPods pro2 because Apple said the hearing test feature would be available in Canada. Now after waiting for the update now you tell us this feature will not be available for us Canadians. Very disappointing. I didn’t need just a pair of AirPods. I bought them specifically for that feature.

ios 18.1 just update again today.... Airpods Pro 2 Lightning 7B19... nope... hearing health does not show up yet...

In order to use the hearing test and hearing aid function, three things must be true.

1. Your iPhone must be updated to 18.1. Here are instructions to update.
2. Your AirPd Pros 2 must be updated to their latest firmware, which 7B19. Here are instructions to update.
3. You Apple Account must be registered in a country that supports the hearing aid feature. Check your country here.

Once these three requirements are satisfied, place the AirPod Pro 2s in your ears. Go to Settings > your AirPods. Tap Hearing Assistance. If you haven't taken the Hearing Test, tap Take a Hearing Test.

Hope this helps.

For those wondering why it's not showing, it's probably not available in your region - AirPods Pro 2 - Hearing Health Feature Availability - Apple

It's WILD that my friend in NZ can do the test, but I'm in Australia and it's not available for me lmao

hearing test/ hearing aid is available in USA and 100 countries BUT NOT CANADA grrrrrr

Those features are not allowed in Canada yet. Look up “Hearing Health Feature Availability“ on the Apple support site.

AirPods Pro 2 - Hearing Health Feature Availability - Apple

My country isn't listed in the compatibility list. Makes me wonder, how come this hearing feature can only available in some countries? It doesn't make any sense.

I just bought the airpod pro 2 for the hearing aid feature and it does not show. I thought it said it was available in Canada.

Not very nice APPLE

My understanding is that it will be available in iOS 18.1 (not iOS 18.0.1). iOS 18.1 should be officially published next week.
