I know that BT LE supports more commands that are specific to hearing aids, so having an app to control them isn’t necessary anymore.\n\nSome earbuds manufacturers even bake firmware updated into an apk, making it possible to update the device without granting an app network permissions on Graphene. I could imagine hearing aids brands doing the same.",
