This option still appears for me (and works) on iOS 18.1 RC on my phone. Probably a bug?

With which airpods/headphones though?

It's there for my AirPods Max in the current 18.2 beta.

You don't happen to have USB-C Max, do you?

Just a thought. Those, AirPods 4, and of course Pro 2 are the only AirPods with rev 7 firmware. All other AirPods are on rev 6.

Both my AirPods (1st gen Pro and Lightning Max), which no longer have audiogram options in Custom Audio Setup since iOS 18.1, are all rev 6.

Did you have it set up before upgrading? Wondering if that’s the key. I’m still on 18.1 RC, I have an audiogram stored, it doesn’t appear, and Custom Audio Setup doesn’t ask for one like it used to.

[unsnap_biceps]

I did not. If that's the key, it does point towards this being an innocent bug rather than an intended removal.

Odd that Apple would close a reported bug as “works as currently designed”.

[unsnap_biceps]

Honestly I wouldn't take too much what the triage person did. I've had legit bugs get closed that way and then later reports stay open and eventually fixed. It's not ideal by any means.
