How can I reduce echo when using AirPods Pro as hearing aids?

Hi. AirPod Pro2. When using it as a hearing aid I cannot get rid of an echo effect. I hear the sound source immediately before the amplified signal. Sealing of buds is deemed good. How can I improve on this? Thank you

If you haven't already:

✽ You may first want to browse through Apple Support's online article to see if any of the tips there help

eg: Check if you set-up the AirPods as suggested

Use the Hearing Aid feature on your AirPods Pro 2 - Apple Support


✽ You may want to experiment with the microphone settings to see if that helps find what works best for you.

Change the settings of your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Set Microphone to left, right, or automatic

There's a microphone in each AirPod, so you can make phone calls and use Siri. By default, Microphone is set to Automatic, so that either of your AirPods can act as the microphone. If you're using only one AirPod, that AirPod will be the microphone.


You can also set Microphone to Always Left or Always Right. You can also set Microphone to Always Left or Always Right to always have either the right or the left AirPod use the microphone even if you remove it from

your ear or put it in the case."

If still needing a solution: Resetting the AirPods may help.
