Also audio amplification apps provide hearing aid features on even basic TWS earphones while a typical hearing aid can be very expensive.
I was tracking this need on my validation platform[1] and it's one the top most visited problem thread consistently implying many are searching for enabling hearing aid features on their wireless earphones.

Meanwhile, most popular audio codecs that work over BT cap bitrate, making lossless truly useless; most headsets and phones don’t support LDAC, and if you get a lucky combination that does music will likely stutter if you’re anywhere close to a busy area of the city or if your phone is in the wrong pocket.
(Where some wireless headsets do win is state of the art active noise cancellation, -30 dB when you’re in a really noisy place without an option to use IEMs or earplugs can be a bliss.)
