How to take the Apple hearing test

Got the AirPods Pro 2? It only takes about five minutes.

Beneath the toggle for switching between transparency mode, adaptive audio, and noise cancellation is a new Hearing Health section. Next, you’ll be asked to confirm that you’re over 18 years old and answer whether you’re currently experiencing allergies, a cold, or infection in your ears or sinuses. Once you tap Next, Apple runs a quick noise analysis of your current surroundings to make sure it’s quiet enough for the test.
