Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Ear training at Free against Hearing PRO's $1.99. Ear training also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 8 months vs every 32 months). Hearing PRO's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
