I'll be interested in the self-test results. I have a peculiar issue
since about 18 months ago where the Airpods "transparency" no longer
really works in my right ear - and I've tried three different right
earpods which test fine for other people.

Doctor check said "your eardrum is clearly slightly retracted, but
that's a pressure difference and should be okay once your eustachian
tube clears". Another year later it still hasn't changed. I've got an
actual audiology appt coming up for it.

The Apple hearing aid mode can read from an audiologist frequency
response graph to tune the sound modifications too.

    Cheers - Jaimie
