Can I change AirPods region settings for Hearing Aid?

I bought Airpods Pro 2 in Malaysia in september. I was waiting for hearing aid feature. I paid for it. I didn’t know that Malaysian Government didn’t approved this feature. I’m not even talking about how inefficient this & thai government doing nothing, but blocking good new technologies and products. MY QUESTION: CAN I SET ANOTHER COUNTRY IN PODS BRAIN USING SOME EQUIPMENT? I don’t care about the warranty, I’m not flying to this country ever again

If your country of residence is not Malaysia, you can set the region of your paired iPhone to the region that you're living in and if the hearing aid feature is allowed in that country, you should be able to use it

I have the US region set on, I think it works in a different way, not like iPhone, when you buy it in UAE and you still can use FaceTime if another region set. I tried to connect to apple support, but they haven’t answered yet. STILL THANK YOU!!!
