Hoping for a quicker way to turn on the hearing aid function for AirPods Pro2. As I understand it right now, the only way to turn the hearing aid function on and off is via the Settings app.
I don't always need the hearing aid function, my hearing is only partially compromised.
A control center function or vocal shortcut option would be appreciated.

Hello again, Phil0124. Thanks for trying.
It's fairly clear to me that you're not a AirPod Pro2 hearing aid function user.
In the scenario you just described, there is no option to turn the hearing aid function on and off.
Yes, you can switch from transparency mode to noise isolation, but if the hearing aid function is turned on in the airpod control panel, the only way to turn it off is to go back to the airpod control and turn it off.
The hearing aid function is completely separate from the transparency / isolation function.
And thank you again for your reply.
Open control center, tap on the small + icon at the top left corner, tap on "Add a control" at the bottom, scroll down to "Hearing Accessibility" or use the Search to find the section and tap on the Ear icon to add the function to control center.

Hello, thank you for your reply.
I have that control enabled, from what I can tell it does not allow the hearing aid function to be turned on or off.
If I enable the hearing aid function, I can switch back and forth between noise cancellation and the hearing aid function via the button on the air pod. I'm looking for a way to turn off the hearing aid function to return to transparency mode without going to the settings app.
That function is controlled by the volume slider in control center for supported headphones and hearing aids. Tap and hold on the volume slider until the additional options show up, then tap on Noise Control, then choose the option you want.

Is there a way to add hearing aid controls to the Control Center?
