Very cool, this brought a smile to my face on a rough morning. Thanks for sharing, and good for them! I hope they help as many as they can and the idea spreads like wildfire for this and other geofenced hardware.

Here in Europe, we don't get the hearing aid feature either, so this solution is very interesting. Has it been attempted already by others?

with no effort at all,
but refuses to.

So they will force Apple to remove the geofence - and then they will proceed to sue them for selling unlicensed medical equipment.
