You can use your Apple AirPods Pro as a temporary hearing aid. The operation is quite simple. It just requires a little prior configuration.
THE Apple AirPods Pro are great for listening to music, taking calls, and even double as dynamic earplugs, but they can be a good hearing aid. They’re not real hearing aids, though. If you suffer from hearing problems, you should seek treatment to get the right treatment, but if your hearing aids are faulty or you just need help with a conversation, AirPods can be a temporary solution.
First you need to set up your AirPods Pro to act as a hearing aid. For this, wear them and wait until they are connected to your iPhone. On the phone, go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Headset Settings > Custom Audio Setup.
You will need to add an audiogram first, following a hearing test. Your iPhone will then use these results to create a custom audio setup for your AirPods. You can skip this step if you do not have an audiogram.
The on-screen steps will guide you through the audio test on your AirPods. These tests determine how well you hear various sounds, and whether you can hear various frequencies when listening to music. If, at the end of the test, your iPhone determines that the standard settings work best for you, you don’t seem to have a hearing problem. If you need to use custom settings though, proceed to make the AirPods work as a listening device.
This means choosing between Light, Moderate and Loud, to boost soft sounds. These options only work when using AirPods in Transparency Mode. If you have activated the noise reduction mode, you will not be able to enjoy it.
On the same settings page, select Transparency Mode and adjust Amplification and Ambient Noise Reduction to your preference. Take a screenshot of this page in case your settings need to be reset and you forget them. You can also activate the Boost Conversation option to make the people you talk to more audible. This feature isolates the voice of your interlocutor from the background, to allow you to better follow conversations in noisy environments.
There’s also real-time listening, which greatly amplifies all the sounds around you. You can enable it by going to Settings > Control Center and adding Hearing. Then you can open the Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner of the screen, tapping the ear icon and selecting Live Listen.
