AirPods Pro 3 glitch when viewing Hearing Test instructions

With AirPods Pro 3 connected to my iPhone 16 Pro running the latest iOS 26,

Go to “Health” app - “Hearing” - “Hearing Test Results” - “About” - “Instructions for Use”,

Once click into the webpage, AirPods Pro 3 will switch between listening modes by itself, none stop.

I tried to select a mode by myself, but the listening mode switch sound effect was not triggered, and my AirPods Pro 3 kept switching listening modes. The only solution I found was to fully quit “Health” app.

I’m currently in Canada. With the “hearing test” feature not available here, I changed my region to US wishing to try out this feature, and run into this bug.

if the only issue is that you can't read the instruction, use these instructions instead:

Take a Hearing Test with AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods Pro 3 - Apple Support

Otherwise, we can only assume that test does not yet speak Canadian, Eh?

¿could you be running into the AirPods self-check?

3)Tap Take a Hearing Test, then follow the instructions:

• If the app asks to run a check, put your AirPods back in their case, close the lid, then tap OK.

Tap Take Hearing Test when the check is finished.

Thank you for you reply!

But I think you misunderstood my post.

My problem is not trying to take hearing test. My issue is when I’m browsing this ‘hearing test’ website, my AirPods Pro 3 will be out of control, switching listening mode by itself uncontrollably.
