Yes, I've used a couple of those iOS apps, but the end result is not boosted enough in the higher frequencies. My $500/pair of MDhearingaid Airs work a lot better, but they don't connect to my Apple devices.
I also have the latest AirPod Pros. With Apple Music, they are not too bad, but Apple is preventing me from having enough volume. I switched to Tidal - the sound is better, and their overall audio out level is higher than Apple. (Tidal also has notes on the music and the bands like the liner notes in the old days.) I tried Idagio, but their output level is even lower than Apple's Music. Basically, I couldn't hear the music well enough to bother with them.
If I play music on my sound system at a comfortable level, and ask people, "Is it too loud for you?", they say, no, it's fine.
The other problem I have with the AirPod Pros is their transparent mode doesn't provide any gain or much EQ for external sounds (even with the audiogram), so I can't hear people nearly as well as I can with my cheap hearing aids. I still have to remove the AirPods and put my hearing aids on, if I want to talk with people in anything but a silent room.
What I need more than anything else is compression. I can hear loud sounds fine - in fact, they bother me. What I can't hear any more is quiet sounds. That's what I need amplified, along with treble boost to compensate for my aging ears.
Apple is really missing a market here for OTC hearing assist. They have all the tech needed, even already built into existing hardware - AirPod Pros are an engineering marvel. They are holding back for some reason, probably some contractural arrangement we're not aware of.
