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.

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.

How do you know? Do you have serious research proving this, are you guessing based on your own opinion, or are you making stuff up entirely?
People in hell want ice water, I want my iPad to run Linux and sideload an IDE and a browser that isn't a toy. Apple does not care, ever, and will always implement a single happy-path solution for people instead of giving them customization options. That's just the way it is, period - screw how you feel, it's our device and you're just living with it.
You need to "validate" your questions before asking them. You are posting literal nonsense most days and it's getting to the point that people cannot respond to your posts with rational answers because they'll get an even more irrational response back. If you're expecting Apple to give a shit about people's hurt feelings then bud, you've got another thing coming.
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.
No, Apple is notorious for not caring if they upset people for presenting a default they consider to be superior.
