A commenter on Reddit [1] pointed out that you can access the hearing test feature directly by using a special URL:

    x-apple-health://HearingAppPlugin.healthplugin/HearingTest

I wonder if there’s a similar deep link to be found to enable Hearing Aid mode?

This was one of the rabbitholes I chased down, but didn't find anything.

At some level, this was just the easier approach :)

I'm sure there's something though. Apple changed the URL handler schemes for iOS 18, so a lot of old repos that reference that don't work anymore.
