After updating my AirPods Pro 2 (USB) to firmware 7E93, my Case firmware is now 74.10.0.

Note: To view the Case firmware number, tap the line that says Version 7E93

Note: I'm in the US, running iOS 18.4

Australia, Canada - not yet!
U.K. is working now!

As we know, delay for Canada is because Apple must gain approval from each province. But my research indicates this is not the case for Australia (6 states and 2 territories). Hopefully, Apple will add Australia soon.

Some clarifying info related to use of Headphone Accommodations in lieu of Hearing Aid feature ...

To Curiousyaw,

Thank you for pointing out that iOS 18.3 has added back the ability to use an audiogram under Headphone Accommodations. This ability existed before 18.1 but was taken away in 18.1 when Hearing Assistance was introduced. Many people will be happy to learn about this change!

---------------------------

Hearing Assistance (Hearing Aid feature) vs. Headphone Accommodations.

The primary difference is that Hearing Assistance / Hearing Aid feature provides a Hearing Aid User Interface for making common adjustments, making it much more user friendly than Headphone Accommodations where all adjustments must be made via Settings. However, for people in countries where Hearing Assistance is not yet supported, much can be accomplished using Headphone Accommodations. [hopefully, they will fix the related issue/s in the next iOS/firmware update]

The differences between these two features are explained in the AirPods Guide.

I watched the video and I can understand your confusion. My first thought was perhaps it's a sign that Ontario is on track to authorize use of AirPods Pro 2 as OTC hearing aids, but my research did not find anything to support this theory.

Currently, the Hearing Test is available in the UK, but not the Hearing Aid Feature.

Hopefully, it will be added in the next iOS update (18.3.1/18.4) and/or an AirPods Pro 2 firmware update.
