For several years every day I listened to music through AirPods Pro and was completely satisfied with how they play. However, there is an easy way to amplify the sound of Apple using an individual audiogram. And this, I’ll tell you, is just an amazing feature that few people know about for some reason.
I myself “pumped” my headphones just the other day and am still impressed by how much cooler, more comfortable and cleaner AirPods Pro play music. Just some magic.
You can always create a personal audiogram and apply it to your headphones. This must be done in order to access your favorite music.
But first, briefly:
What is an audiogram
Many do not think about the fact that hearing can change with age. The ear is a rather delicate organ, and various loud sounds and situations can affect this organic negative factor to the point that one ear feels worse than the other.
A person may not notice this under normal conditions, he hears everything around and hears. Most importantly, don’t be deaf.
An audiogram shows how well each ear appreciates sounds of different frequencies and volumes, and each person’s sound picture of the world can be different.
Simply put, an audiogram lets you listen to different frequencies (500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, and 4kHz) and determine how loud a sound needs to be in each ear for you to hear it.
As a result, high values are revealed that can be applied to your headphones for increased sound transmission in accordance with your opinion about hearing.
How to create your own audiogram
There are many hearing test and audiogram apps on the App Store. I used Mimi’s standard hearing test.
Before playing this application on your iPhone, find a quiet place without extraneous noise, do not disturb restricted mode, turn off the equalizer (Settings → Music → Equalizer) if you have it turned on, and it can be assumed that the balance is at an average level along the way Settings → Accessibility → Audio Visualization.
Also make sure your headphones are used by audiograms. Here is a list of such headphones:
▪️ AirPods Max.
▪️ AirPods Pro
▪️ AirPods (2nd generation)
▪️ Headphones
▪️ Powerbeats Pro
▪️ Beats Solo Pro
▪️ Sennheiser HDA 200
▪️ Sennheiser HDA 300
You are now ready for the hearing test. Run the Mimi Hearing Test and follow the prompts on the screen, everything is simple there. For clarity, I have compiled a gallery of screenshots of how it looks:
After completing the test, click “Finish” and then click on the gear with the right to expand.
Then click on Connect to Apple Health and access easily. On the next screen, activate the “Audiogram” slider.
Now you need to apply the audiogram to your headphones: follow the path Settings → Accessibility → Audio visualization → Headphone adaptations → Custom audio setting and click “Use audiogram”, then click “Finish”.
That’s all, now launch Apple Music or any other music source on your iPhone and be surprised at how your favorite tracks began to appear better.
If it occurs after a year, you can re-check your hearing, create a new audiogram and apply it in place of the previous one. I think the effect will be the same, because hearing can deteriorate over the course of a year.
Take care of your ears, listen to good music.
