Hi, I wear hearing aids full time and have been wearing them all my life. They are not identical to Bluetooth earbuds. The sound is completely different. Hearing aids need to be able to be adjusted to the wearer’s particular hearing loss. For example I need more amplification on high frequency pitches and less amplification on lower pitches.
Good hearing aids are also environmentally aware. They will adjust the amplification to be different in a car, bus, and quiet conference room. Cheap hearing aids rarely do this well. There is a very drastic difference between 800 dollar hearing aids and 10,000 aids. Trust me, I’ve tried both of them.
At best these Bluetooth headphones / earbuds you mention can just make all noises louder, across all environments. That helps a bit but it is not the same as what a good pair of hearing aids can do today.
