The Issue
The HEARING HEALTH section only lists Hearing Protection.
Hearing aids and Take a Hearing Test are not listed.
What should I do to have them listed as well?
Kind regards
iPad Air (M3, 2025)
In what country do you reside? Hearing Heath features are regulated.
Availability of Hearing Health features requires both an iPad that supports the feature - and you residing in a country where the associated features are available.
Your reply implies that you reside in a country where this feature is available.
If your iPad is not operating as expected, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings
If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to provide hands-on assistance with troubleshooting the issue:
The inexplicable part is this:
The iPhone 17 Pro (iOS 26.5.1) in the same Apple account doesn't have this problem. Hearing aids and Take a Hearing Test are listed.
iPhone an iPad are next to each other, in the same location .
