They sound better and work better than the two hearing aids I have owned. Also cheaper, more comfortable, and more stylish. I've always thought hearing aids should be honest so that they can look cool instead of trying to hide either behind the ear or like skin tone in the ear.

How do they function as heating aides exactly? Is there a way for transparency mode to amplify sound?
To your second point, agreed, and other forms of mechanical aid should do the same. So many fashion possibilities with prosthetics

Transparency mode DOES amplify sound, and also provides a degree of direction to sounds. I’ve got a 55 gallon fish tank and can tell the instant the water gets below the filter mark because I can heat it, but only with my AirPods on.

Sure they amplify sound, but the point of hearing aids is to only amplify the right sounds, not every sound.

Sure, thats why Apple. Sony, Bose etc need to do user-tailored sound curves (audiogram), and for low to low/moderate hearing loss is probably fine for most.
A friend had hearing aids "professionally fitted", and the free internet audiogram basically matched the one done in a sound booth by the professional.
The tuning on the hearing aids wasn't that good, being a "cheap" (aka not mega-multi-thousand currency pair), so tbh i think consumer electronic companies could easily do something better at the lower end of hearing loss for users.
They did have a pair of Here One earbuds which were so close to being great, but battery life and app integration let them down. Then Apple came out with their first earbuds and kinda killed them off. Sad really as the tech was getting close.

You can import an audio gram for the AirPods Pro

That is great then, thanks for info.

Somewhere deep in the settings I was able to get them to boost specifically the highs in transparency mode. But it might be related to my previous hearing aids' tie-in to my phone (they were bluetooth). Or not related. Definitely do some googling regarding the accessibility settings. I can't remember my steps.
