Key Points

  • To evaluate the accuracy, reliability, and time-efficiency of Apple’s hearing test feature in AirPods Pro 2.
  • Clinical evaluation of the hearing test feature
  • Comparison with traditional pure-tone audiometry (PTA)
  • Assessment of time taken for testing
  • Accuracy and reliability were found to be clinically acceptable.
  • The hearing test feature improved time-efficiency compared to PTA.
  • Potential identified for consumer-led hearing monitoring and self-fitting of OTC hearing aids.

Abstract

Apple's HTF demonstrated clinically acceptable accuracy and reliability, with improved time-efficiency compared to PTA. Findings support its potential for consumer-led hearing monitoring and OTC hearing aid self-fitting. Further research should assess inter-device reliability and integration with Apple's Hearing Aid Feature.
