upgrade to ios and/or ipados v18


Firmware of case must be updated to 7A302 To update firmware, power on iphone or ipad, open case to pair and connect bluetooth case to device. Wait awhile and check to see if firmware was updated by touching “i” next to airpod Bluetooth connection.


If you do the above you will gain additional functions on your Airpod Pro2 BUT still no hearing aid. That will come with a ios 18 upgrade sometime soon. When you get it allow the hearing test to run and upon completion the hearing aid function will activate.


Fyi, the airpod pro2 function guide from Apple is terrible.
