The air pods are great for streaming music but bad at natural voice sounds. This is because they use a closed tip compared to a vented tip that most but not all hearing aids use. A vented tip allows natural sound to get to the ear which is good for people like me who have good low frequency hearing but then my hearing curve declines with the high frequencies. So with hearing aid like the air pods with closed tips the sound becomes muddied. Also closed tips make wind noise reduction very hard and the AirPods are horrible in the wind.
The wind part is kinda true but that is also something we can solve now with software. bose does a very good job of that. but regarding to ur closed tips point. airpod pro 2 does have vents to help hear voice better. i talk to everyone on the daily with them on. i gave a pair to my mom to help her hearing actually, back then i didnt think it would help but when she wears it, she can hear better talking to ppl. before she passed she didn't leave the house without it. so far its all speculation when it comes out i'll make a follow up video with testing data from reputable places

Is hearing aid feature also coming in airpods 4
Sadly no, I think they only wanna keep that for the top of the line product.
