As soon as the AirPod2 hearing aid announcement came out, I bought a pair. That was in September. I did the hearing test and waited until October.

I do use them for music and Sirius/XM.

The only part of the hearing aid function that helps is the noise reduction setting. But it blocks out everything.

I do believe that AirPods will offer many people a less expensive alternative to existing hearing aids. Just not me.
