How can I use AirPods Pro 2 as a hearing aid?

i read that the IOS18 was the update i need and i have that update and the airpods pro 2. now what?

Mine seem to be version 7a305 with no option for any updates. Is this going to be a problem?

That feature is not out yet.

The new hearing features will only be available on the AirPods Pro 2 and will be available via a software update in Fall 2024.

upgrade to ios and/or ipados v18

Firmware of case must be updated to 7A302 To update firmware, power on iphone or ipad, open case to pair and connect bluetooth case to device. Wait awhile and check to see if firmware was updated by touching “i” next to airpod Bluetooth connection.

If you do the above you will gain additional functions on your Airpod Pro2 BUT still no hearing aid. That will come with a ios 18 upgrade sometime soon. When you get it allow the hearing test to run and upon completion the hearing aid function will activate.

Fyi, the airpod pro2 function guide from Apple is terrible.

any news on the hearing test and hearing aid function for the airpod pro gen 2?

I have updated phone and airpods. this was all over the news a month ago and we are all still waiting. is there anyone who knows whats going on?

The article you read somewhere was wrong. "Now what?" You have to wait for the update that will introduce the hearing aid function.

Was it included in the recent update on the Airpods?

Thank you
