I have a hearing deficit and am looking forward to more options in this space. But I will be surprised if Apple ever sells anything that can be discreetly worn. They seem to enjoy making products serve as advertisements.

(I use my iPhone and Apple Watch and AirPods Pro daily. It seems that one still cannot buy a version of the Apple Watch with a cell modem without a red ring on it.)

I really don’t want discreet hearing aids. My first set were a color designed to match my (brown) hair. Good luck finding one if it got knocked out by my kids. Plus, they don’t restore normal hearing, so I’d rather have them be something that alerts someone talking to me that my hearing is defective. I generally get white or silver now (depending on what’s available). If fluorescent blue were an option, I would go with that.
Good point. I just don't want them to look like my AirPods or people near me might think that I am ignoring them. I would rather they look like hearing aids.
