    I tried Apple’s Hearing Test and the results shocked me


    It’s been forty or more years since I took a real audio test, but I still remember being a kid, wearing bulky headphones, and raising my hand when I heard a tone. Back then, I had perfect hearing. I wondered what Apple‘s new clinical-grade, over-the-counter hearing test would be like, especially when enabled through its tiny Apple AirPods Pro 2 Bluetooth earbuds.

    It was not without trepidation that I undertook this test. Studies show that more than a third of the people in my age range typically suffer a 25decible (dB) or greater hearing loss. My family has been complaining for years that I have terrible hearing. I argue it’s “tunnel hearing,” meaning I hear what I’m focused on and tend to shut out everything else. My concern was that Apple’s Hearing Test would prove that I have, perhaps, significant hearing loss.
