Hearing Test does not work on my AirPods

I am in an absolutely quiet room. I do the hearing test and it says it couldn't complete the test cause of excessive background noise tried it many times same error. The only noise would be me breathing. The main reason I got these AirPods Pro was for the hearing aid part

AirPods Pro 2 Hearing Test fails with "Unable to classify due to background noise" error. Tried hearing test over 30 times. Sometimes in quiet car parked in my garage. Background noise is not the issue even though message reads Unable to Classify because of background noise at some time during the test. I wish when the message better described what the issue is. After trying unsuccessfully so many times, I wanted to see if I could get the test to complete. So, ignoring the sounds the test produced, I clicked the test on each new circle (about every 2 seconds) and was able to complete successfully with about 20 clicks on both left and right ear. It said I had good hearing with no hearing loss. However, I have worn hearing aids for years and have moderate hearing loss as detected by two different providers. Apple, I realize this feature is new and expect some issues but please own up to it and tell us when we can expect a fix. Was otp with support for an hour yesterday and finally they sent me to local store to consult genius. They tried my airpods on their phone where it had successfully completed earlier in the day with different airpods and mine didn't work for them either. Genius sent me home with new airpods and told me good luck and there should be a fix soon. Still haven't heard of one.

Why can't I find the Hearing Test on my AirPods Pro 2? I have the latest iOS for my phone and correct 7B19 for my AirPods Pro 2 (model A3048 from Costco). I cannot for the life of me get this hearing feature to appear. When I open the AirPod menu, “take a hearing test” is nowhere to be found. It’s not in my Health app either. I restarted my phone as well with no luck. Tried “forget my device” and repairing with my phone. And they are in my ears when I’m trying all this as well. What am I missing? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Why aren't my AirPods showing Hearing Health features after update? My AirPods updated to 7B19 last night, which is supposedly the update that contains the new hearing health options. My AirPods settings, however, are not showing any of the new features. I’m really looking forward to taking the hearing test. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I experienced same problem, failed 4 times, but wore a dust mask on the 5th attempt (3M 8511 NIOSH N95). It finally worked, so I believe it is plausible that the sound of your own breath is the issue.

Try and restart your phone and try the test anew, that is what worked for me when encountering this error
