Yeah, apple brought mfi hearing aids support to Mac OS recently.
It is possible to relay audio via a smartphone, I've done this in the past. The main problem is latency. Fine for music, crap for videos.
I also potentially want to use Pico-ASHA for teams calls at work, instead of trying to fit a headset over hearing aids. USB audio means no custom software.
At the end of the day, this is a stop-gap until LE Audio becomes common.
