My dad recently got hearing aids. The technology has come a long way. His are bluetooth and pair with his phone.

Back in the day of you wanted to ignore someone you'd just turn off your hearing aids. He uses his to listen to music now.

I'm sure there might be some practical difference between hearing aids and airbuds, but it does seem like there's a lot of overlap

It's mainly testing and standards. Same with watches now. Big tech realized they can make better shit, they just need to deal with the FDAs of the world and they can thoroughly trounce ingrained medical tech.
