In the Netherlands 75% of a hearing aid is paid for by the basic health insurance everyone already has. The best hearing aid currently here is the Oticon Intent for about 2000 Euro. So they cost youabout 500 Euro Airpods are about 200 Euros. But you'll need an I-phone. hearingaids are cheaper.

This, and the fact that it won’t be as tailored as hearing aid, and they have 5h battery life 😅 I think this is a plus for people with mild disabilities, but won’t replace proper equipment
