Just purchased AirPods Pro 2 and wanted to use them as an additional hearing aid. iPhone has been updated to iOS 18 but when I go to the AirPods menu, there is no option to have them give me a hearing test. Is this not available yet? If so, where can I find that option.

For those wondering why it's not showing, it's probably not available in your region - AirPods Pro 2 - Hearing Health Feature Availability - Apple
It's WILD that my friend in NZ can do the test, but I'm in Australia and it's not available for me lmao
When Apple announced back in November that they had obtained the approval of Therapeutic Goods Association, Apple said its an “important first step toward making these features available in Australia.”
Evidently, there are other approvals that still need to be obtained. In fact the actual approval was not officially made by TGA until December 17th.
If this is an important feature, which it certainly sounds like, have you asked your elected officials what the holdup is?
I have the same problem. I am surprised Apple did not think this through before announcing the hearing health feature- I have been trying every trick but will try to use an outside App to take a hearing test and connect AirPods Pro 2

They did. That's why they announced what countries it would be available in.
You will find it when it goes live.
It is not available yet.
There are people on Reddit saying they already took the test; it is available with iOS 18 who can is avail today.
It is fall. It’s supposed to be in iOS 18 and people are saying they have it.
My air pods pro 2 updated today to 7B19 and it still doesn’t have the hearing aid test. Anybody else?
Same here!!
Just updated airpods pro 2 (usb-c version) today to 7B19 and also updated phone to ios 18.0.1, and the option for the hearing test is not available.
Yes that’s also what I’ve read, I guess they updated the AirPods in prep for the iOS update.
Thank you!
Me too
Same. It was promised with the update “this week”. It came today. Updated to iOS18 and still no Hearing Test option.
Oct 25 chat with Apple Support (my AirPods Pro 2 are brand new just for this feature) will only work with iOS18.1. More hype and wait.
Hello~ Such is life. Do you have a technical question for us?
