Airpod Pro 2nd gen as hearing aids - feature request
Have been using the APP 2nd gen for hearing aids for elderly parent (87y/o), going on close to 2 years now. Followed an online procedure setup, installed separate app for doing a hearing test, set up/applied profile, etc. Works very nicely for him. Thank you for adding this!
However, it would be EXTREMELY helpful if once a setting is made, the APP 2 stays in that setting, and doesn't ever get changed unless intentionally (which is not the case in our experience). Once the APP 2 are set in transparency mode, if using as hearing aids, the setup should never change. Too many times (at least 2-3 times a month), I have to explain/show how to change the APP2 in settings from 'Noise Cancellation' or 'Adaptive' back to 'Transparency' because the setting changed arbitrarily while charging and/or not in use. If I set the mode to transparency, it should stay that setting no matter how many times the earpieces go in/out of the case, or no matter what happens environmentally. Parent thinks the APP 2 hearing aid setup is no longer working, they aren't charging, or otherwise appear to be turned off when the settings change 'on it's own', for whatever reason.
While I love the interaction with parent on this....it is a point of frustration for them, as I'm not always around to help technically (they live 5m away in an adult/apartment community), nor are they able to remember/walk through the steps on their own, as they have varying days of memory with dementia.
If there's a setting I'm missing somewhere to force the APP 2 to always stay in 'Transparency' mode, it'd be ever so helpful to find it.
