I did Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 hearing test, and I’m doomed

Apple's AirPods Pro 2 hearing test is now available for US and Canada users alongside iOS 18.1. While some journalists have made the test and experienced AirPods as hearing aid devices and how great they were for that, I have a less optimistic view of that function.

I'm 29 years old, and in the past 15 hours, I have performed the AirPods Pro 2 hearing test twice. I last did a similar test when I left a job at a TV station three years ago. If I remember correctly, I had a hearing loss of around 15 dBHL.
