On December 24th, I purchased AirPods Pro 2. As a person with hearing impairment, I bought them because of the hearing aid features. Unfortunately, I am unable to configure them. When I go to the AirPods Pro 2 settings, I do not see the "Hearing Assistance" option, either on my iPhone or my iPad.
I have performed 3 hearing tests, which are saved in the Health app, but I cannot use them with my AirPods.

Apple says (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/09/apple-introduces-airpods-4-and-a-hearing-health-experience-with-airpods-pro-2/) AirPods Pro 2 will receive a software feature "soon" that will turn the wireless earbuds into "clinical-grade" hearing aids (https://9to5mac.com/2024/09/09/airpods-pro-2-adds-clinical-grade-hearing-aid-feature/). "This includes a hearing protection mode being enabled by default, offering passive noise cancellation in loud environments," adds 9to5Mac. From the report: Firstly, users can take a clinically-validated hearing test. The hearing test uses your AirPods and iPhone, and can be conducted by a user in under five times. The result of your hearing test can be viewed securely in the Health app. If hearing loss is detected, the hearing aid mode is then available to use. The AirPods will make it easier to hear sounds from the world around you. A custom hearing profile is automatically applied when listening to audio, like music or podcasts.
The hearing aid feature is
currently making its way through the FDA and other regulatory bodies. Apple said the functionality will be available in more than 100 countries. The feature will be enabled through a free software update coming later this year to AirPods Pro 2.

I have had some for Xmas. You need to ensure your AirPods have latest firmware. ( Google - how to check latest firmware on my AirPod pros ). You will need to be on version 7B21 to see hearing aid features
Same here. AirPods Pro 2 opened on Xmas day and no hearing aid function. Tried on 2 iPhones (14 and 15 pro) and an iPad. All running on iOS/ipados 18.2.
No it doesn't for many users. All hype and no delivery so far.
Infuriating!
