Maybe not to the current (released in 2017) AppleTV4K with its A10 SoC, but surely to the next version rumored to release this Spring.

Indeed, though I'm guessing that Apple's primary motivation and use case for providing a cable connection for their ANC headset is to allow connection to in-flight entertainment systems.

The audiogram setting is indeed personal. It is a measure of one's hearing (impairment). Typically age-related. It seems to me an excellent idea to compensate for this so we can all hear headphones as their designers intended as a starting point, regardless of our age! I haven't spent time on...

Lightening clicks into place, USB-C does not. The former seems particularly better suited to headphone use, if ever needed. (In my case only if I’m connecting to an in-flight entertainment system.) I have USB-C on my MacBook and more than once it has lost power connectivity for no mechanical...

Jackalton, But if you are using the audiogram setting, shouldn't that simply be matching the frequency response to your hearing? Assuming the correction required doesn't exceed the headroom, requiring compression? I have to say that to my ears the APM sounds great, and even better when...

I believe even professional audiogram are mapped at eight discrete frequencies from 250Hz to 8kHz and -30db at 8kHz seems an average hearing loss for 40-49 year old males according the data I had found and posted.

Thank you for your detailed, rigorous and cogent comparison, tkddans!

The latter calibrated test is the more accurate one! Similar result initially using the APP v the AP.

Rick, I think it should. The calibration is only for the headset used to create the audiogram so the app knows the sound pressure level reaching your ear at each frequency and should result in an objective measure of your hearing. Once you have an accurate audiogram it should work for all...

The only thing that is maybe a bit unusual is the significant increase shown in your hearing between 4kHz and 8kHz. If your hearing was tested by an audiologist you could probably get a copy of the graph. It would likely be more accurate than the Mimi app. These, FYI, are pure tone audiogram...

An audiogram is an objective profile of your hearing. It would likely be more accurate if measured by an audiologist using calibrated equipment and in absolute sound insulation, but using an iOS app with a calibrated headset should give you a reasonably accurate result, regardless of the headset...

What does your graph look like? If you go to Health > Browse > Hearing > Audiogram you will see it. I think for most people as they age there is an increasing downward slope from 250Hz to 4KHz and then it flattens out to 8kHz. So maybe ‘treble’ is a poor descriptor. (Mimi takes six readings...

Any headphone will work, ricksastro, but if it's not calibrated with the app the measurement may not be accurate. I first tried with an APP and then used the AP, which is calibrated. The AP showed 10% point plus less hearing loss compared with the APP, which isn't calibrated with the app. I...

I think it more likely points to the adjustments being sent by the iPhone to the headphones where the local H1 processing makes the compensation after decoding from AAC. This would account for the fact that 'Headphone Accommodations' only works with 'supported Apple and Beats headphones'...

Might I suggest what your doctor was really saying was that you ears are pristine for your age. From what I understand age related high frequency hearing loss begins at around 25 and inexorably increases with age.

If you calibrated using the AP you should be OK for the APM. The app needs to know what the sensitivity of the headphones/earphones you are using is, across the range of test frequencies, identify or set the output of your iPhone, and compensate accordingly, so that the amplitude of the sound...

Yes, you can! Under Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual. Please see my post and others on the subject. Before creating your own audiogram try adjusting Balanced Tone and Vocal Range. Start with default Slight.

Edit: After posting this response I saw you already did this, Keith. But I am keeping this post for others. This really is a benefit of being in the Apple ecosystem. I have to imagine that at least some of the remarkably varied opinion over the APM and other headphones in this and other forums...

Re calibration, I used APP but going back to the app it indeed says: AP and......thank you, I recalibrated with the regular AP and my score increased significantly! I feel a whole lot better about my hearing! I I haven't tried the other listed apps that integrate with Health to check for APP...

Exactly, ricksastro, and with my 70 year old hearing, the difference is likely even more pronounced (my Mimi test result: 'L 79%, R 80%. Apple Health indicates an average -19/-18 dbHL) Of course this is an average, versus the more detailed four frequency plot they provide. I assume APM...

iOS 14.3? When you click Continue on the Headphone Audio Customization popup screen where does it take you? for me now it says 'Would you like to use your latest audiogram'? But I think prior to creating an audiogram it took me to the Health app. Anyhow, if you go to the Health app and click on...

I have read several earlier posts re contouring output via iOS Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual with the suggestion to set to Headphone Accommodations (On) > Balanced Tone (Slight) which is the default. It is a significant improvement for me, because I have slightly better than average 70...

Thank you, erich6!

Thank you, Angelom!

Thank you for the welcome, and for your detailed commentary on my post, SpinSpin! I have read this forum from time to time, sometimes in depth over the years, for opinion, insight and guidance, but haven't felt I had anything to add, so no posts. My last serious headphones, and this dates me...
