hmmm... so, I have been tempted to investigate Airpods for heading aide use, as the "medical" ones I have now are complete garbage for doing anything on my phone - they regularly forget their bluetooth sync status, they do not have enough volume to watch media on the phone - and when it comes to music, they are laughably horrible.

But... in my country, Apple Airpods are not certified as "hearing aides", so that functionality is blocked... Perhaps with this, I will have an Android phone in my future...
