What am I doing wrong? I have chronic high pitch tinnitus that I am able to usually ignore, but when I wear the AirPod pro 2 as hearing aids, the tinnitus is impossible to ignore.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
You're not doing anything wrong. This can happen with using any hearing aids, I didn't even notice that I had titinitus before getting hearing aids (not the AirPods Pro, regular aids via the audiologist) and now I hear it
I had high hopes that my new AirPods Pro 2 could help mitigate noise to make tinnitus more tolerable, but alas, the opposite is the case. My older pair of AirPods Pro were much better in that regard. I regret having given them away.

You can turn off the hearing aid feature if it makes things worse.
