bug: The ionChange event of ion-input is triggered the second time the page is entered

Bug Report

Ionic version:

[x] 4.x

Current behavior:

<ion-input [(ngModel)]="tests" (ionChange)="test($event)"></ion-input>

ngOnInit(
  this.tests = '123';
)

test($event){
 console.log('$event :', $event);
}

This is triggered the second time the page is accessed

Expected behavior:

If the user is not actively typing, no change event needs to be triggered

We were able to get around this issue by using (ngModelChange)="" Instead of using (ionChange)=""

Same issue here, ionChange is triggered the second time the page is entered, any news on the fix?

Same issue here… april 2021 and counting…
