iOS 18.1 and the latest AirPods Pro 2 firmware introduced a hearing test feature. It measures how well you can hear something in each ear.
Officially, Apple allowed the use of this innovation only in the US and online. However, there is another way to enable it in any country, including Russia.
To run the test, you need to enter the link in Safari on iPhone (clickable):
x-apple-health://HearingAppPlugin.healthplugin/HearingTest
After this, testing will start.
You need to be in a very quiet room. Before the test, run presence diagnostics, which evaluate extraneous noise and illuminate ear seals.
Then all you have to do is tap the screen every time you hear a sound, first in your left ear and then in your right ear. This will take about 5 minutes.
The received data will be stored in the application. Health. The option is fully translated into Russian (I have AI activated on my iPhone, so English is used in the screenshots). [Reddit]
