Right, and the hearing aid has a microphone, so it presents itself as a headset with mic. This is not new, the Oticon also does this.
The difference is that the Oticon supports the "Made for iPhone" hearing aid settings which means you get fine-grained control over which microphone is used.
Apple should give that control to all devices, including standard bluetooth headsets.
