Part 5/10:
Comparing the Technology with Professional Audiogram Testing
To validate the effectiveness of Apple’s hearing test, I sought a professional audiologist at New York Presbyterian Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Here, I underwent a classic beep test—a much more regulated and controlled environment compared to the AirPods test. Interestingly, the results showed a consistency between the professional assessment and my Apple test, indicating promising accuracy and reliability.
An exciting feature of the AirPods is their ability to incorporate audiogram results from professional tests. Users can scan their audiogram results into the app, seamlessly integrating expert data into their personal hearing adjustments.
