Am no expert in this area, yet your post to the community deserves some response.

Seems like you may be hearing both sounds from the environment, and the audio through the AirPods pro 2

Without knowing which settings and audio modes are in use, it is difficult to know what needs changing.


You may want to check out the tips in Apple Support's online Article below

Use the Hearing Aid feature on your AirPods Pro 2 - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Adjust amplification level, balance, and more in AirPods Pro settings


You can adjust settings like amplification level (how much your AirPods amplify the sound around you), left-right balance, tone, and Conversation Boost on iPhone:"


For quick access to settings, you can use Control Center to adjust settings.


  1. With your AirPods in your ears and connected to your paired device: On iPhone, go to Settings > your AirPods, then tap Hearing Assistance under Hearing Health.
  2. Tap or click Adjustments.
  3. To adjust how much your AirPods amplify the sound around you, drag the Amplification slider to the right or left. You can also adjust amplification from Control Center. The volume buttons on your device don't adjust the Hearing Aid amplification level (but do adjust the volume of media playing on your device).
  4. To increase or decrease amplification levels by swiping up or down on the Touch controls of your AirPods, turn on Swipe to Control Amplification. This feature only works when in Transparency mode and no media is playing on your paired device.
  5. To adjust the balance between left and right AirPods, drag the Balance slider left or right.
  6. To make the sound amplified by your AirPods brighter, drag the Tone slider to the right. For a darker, less bright tone, drag the slider to the left.
  7. To decrease the amount of noise in your environment picked up by your AirPods, like fan noise or road noise, drag the Ambient Noise Reduction slider to the right. This can help improve intelligibility in noisier environments.

When you change the settings for your AirPods Pro 2, the settings carry over to your other devices.

If you have multiple sets of AirPods, you have to set up each set separately."


There is much more info. in the above article.
