The AirPods Pro already have a bunch of features that overlap quite a bit with hearing aids (e.g., importing audiograms), but it'll be interesting to how it evolves: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211218

GoodReader on iPad has this (though you set it for the document manually). It even lets you choose a different view-time crop for odd and even page numbers.

Most midrange A/V receivers come with mics these days to do this sort of calibration. For example, Denon's version of this is called Audyssey http://manuals.denon.com/avrx4100w/NA/EN/GFNFSYnuokgukf.p
