You might want to check whether your hearing aids are compatible with your iPhone, & Apple's hearing features:
You can look under the manufacturer's name in the List of Made for iPhone hearing devices - Apple Support
Also: Re: compatibility with Mac computers:
Article says: "MFi hearing devices marked with an asterisk (*) in the list above use bidirectional streaming, which allows you to talk hands-free. MFi hearing devices without an asterisk use unidirectional streaming"
___________
If compatible: There are iPhone settings you can use / fine tune: Eg: Settings > Accssibility > Hearing Devices
If needed: See "Control your hearing device" in the article below
