Ask HN: Should Apple's hearing test have option to hide your results from you?
In this way, you can use the hearing test to improve your hearing via the AirPods Pro 2 without knowing how bad your hearing is, which might upset you.

What a stupid idea. If you busted your hearing, that's on you. Time to learn to live with it instead of lying to yourself.
If you don’t want to be upset, don’t take the test.
If you take the test, and they didn’t show you the results per your suggestion, then wouldn’t you know that you have a hearing problem if the quality of music/etc. significantly improved through your AirPods anyway?
So what would be the benefit?
Maybe you just want better hearing without knowing the extent of your hearing problem.
I feel like you missed my point.
If they correct your hearing noticeably, you will know that you had a hearing problem. Whether they pop up a little dialogue telling you that or not.
"Hearing problem" is not a binary thing. People just want to have their hearing improved while believing that their hearing problem is minor even when it is not.

No, Apple is notorious for not caring if they upset people for presenting a default they consider to be superior.
