Missing 'Take a Hearing Test' option for AirPods on iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 17.7.1

On my 13Pro with os 17.7.1


paired to my new ear pods on the settings page….NO “Take a hearing test” option to be seen

Do I need a different software, or a newer phone devise????

If by "just released" you mean the AirPods Pro 2 released in September of 2022, that would be correct.

The firmware that was recently released will allow them to be used as hearing aids just like the newest iteration.

Thanks Tim

I also had to re-pair the AirPods after the update, as the prompt for hearing test didn’t activate until a new iPods pro2 devise was recognized.

Thank you, this was the reason for my purchase to begin with. I must say that the music sound is also awesome as the noise reduction is too

Thanks!
I looked for the latest software update and 17.7.1 is the one that was available

I also have an iPhone 13 and it is updated to iOS 18.1. If you take another look at Settings->General->Software Update and scroll down further you should see the iOS 18.1 update available.
