Awareness
Take a Hearing Test. Right athome.
Millions of people are unaware that they’re living with hearing loss, and even more don’t get tested. But now it’s faster, easier, and more convenient than ever to get scientifically validated results on your owntime.1
A more convenient process. Pro-level Active Noise Cancellation and the in‑ear seal on your AirPodsPro2 simulate the conditions needed to evaluate and provide you with insights into your hearing. Just find a quiet, comfortable place and launch the test from your AirPods settings or the Health app. The system will automatically check the fit of your AirPodsPro2 and assess background noise levels before gettingstarted.
Hear the tones, tap the screen. Using pure‑tone audiometry built on advanced acoustic science, the test plays a series of tones that you respond to by tapping the screen. Helpful animations, tap‑back effects, and progress indicators guide you through the experience, which takes about fiveminutes. More than 150,000 real‑world audiograms and millions of simulations helped develop a Hearing Test that’s accurate, fast, andeasy.
Immediate results. Seamless support. When you complete the test, you see a personalized profile with easy‑to‑understand results and insights about your hearing. If you have little to no loss, but could still benefit from hearing certain frequencies more clearly, you’ll be able to adjust your Media Assist settings for enhanced audio on media and calls. And if you have perceived mild to moderate hearing loss, you’ll be prompted to set up the HearingAidfeature.
Private, secure, and easy to manage. All your HearingTest data is privately and securely stored in the Health app on your device. You can retake the test whenever you want, monitor your hearing over time, download your test results, and read helpful articles about hearinghealth.
