Updated to 18.1 this morning. I read the fine print—Australia is *not* in the list of countries where Hearing Test is available. Very disappointing. I was looking forward to using iPods Pro 2 for hearing assistance.
AirPods Pro (2nd generation)
Just bought my airpods pro this morning for just this feature. Get home and find it’s not available in Australia. Guess how I feel about this issue. Not happy.
I suspect this has been blocked by Cochlear Ltd lobbyists, there is a lot of money involved. I hope it can be resolved sooner rather than later, my elderly father could really use it, his hearing aids perform very poorly, and they are very expensive.
This time, I am sure they will. Probably be a few weeks. I need real hearing aids (profound loss in the higher frequencies in both ears) and have decent aids on order, but will program the APP2s with the hearing test results. My view is that even if the audiogram-programmed AirPods Pro2s do only 50% of what's needed, that's a plus, right? The APP2s are excellent for movies and YT as they are now, so can only be an improvement with the programming. And for people with mild to moderate hearing loss only, these might do everything they need right now. Hearing aids are not cheap.
The latest iOS (18.2.1) available this morning has restored "Hearing Test" to the menu. However, I could not find the app in the short time I had. I have not had time to try this yet (and am flat out this morning), but this maybe is what we have been waiting for.
Can someone with mild to moderate hearing loss try this test (and tell the rest of us where to find it, if you do) , upload the results to the APP2s, and report back?

Thank you. Am unsure whether there's any way to check that out at the moment ... seemed there may have been a choice between the new hearing-test and an audiogram from another source ...
Hi
Thx, just checked. No hearing test but can still import one from an app.
You are not alone, Raylud. Does anyone know where one can post to convey our wishes to Apple?
Thanks for that info. Alancito. I filled in the forms.
Hearing aid feature not available in India but is available in Nepal, Bhutan and even in Afghanistan, question is how you access in India? If I go to Nepal and buy it there, will it work in India?
Also noticed today that Sleep Apnea feature on Apple Watch states is not available in Australia under Watch Sleep Settings
So it’s going to be like how long it took the ECG feature on Apple Watch. We can’t get it until/ unless Apple Pay’s to some organisation in Australia to approve!!! It’s all about money 💰
I bought it today and was setting it up, when found that its not available in Australia 😡
@apple should do something about it.
Yep. Lucky country? Let’s call it the land of ‘rules to PROTECT the citizens’.
I had given up on all our hopes the TGA would get this done a bit like the TVA and all of Loki's challenges.
But they did it, which is great. Thank you for tracking this and posting the links.
Market size? Not sure, but it looks as though the question's moot now.
Hearing test not available in Australia after iOS update this morning
