If your hearing aid is made from Apple, you're probably going to be locked in to Apple products for as long as you don't replace your hearing aid.

I very highly doubt it: They cannot very well have people's hearing aids fail to work if some sort of doom destroys the phone.

It is probably simply that it isn't so absolutely difficult for Apple to start making these. The company is already experienced in making small electronics, earbuds, and things like this.

They know how to make feedback-based sound equalization via their latest generations of airpods. This bit is very important for adapting the devices to the hearing loss profiles of patients.

This is what made them extremely expensive for a good part of their history. Adaptability and auto-adaptability.

Also, they're very small electronics for what they do.

I love hating on Apple as much as the next guy, but I doubt that would happen. They'd probably have some fancy features that could only be controlled from Apple devices, but surely none of the core functionality.
