I think prices will be in free fall once Apple launches their hearing aids as just a model of AirPods and every other phone OEM makes their own hearing aid to keep up.
Audiologists will loudly complain that they're not as effective as once custom fitted and tuned but for literally 1/10 the price and no expensive tuning sessions it will be a no brainer.
Two things. First you can get custom tips made for airpods (not exactly cheap, but custom isn't cheap). Second, you can actually use a training app, and then import that profile into the airpods for even better, personalized performance.
