Apple Hearing Test Feature for the AirPods Pro 2: Accuracy, Reliability, and Time‐Efficiency

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.

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.
