Despite vast portions of their revenues coming from Europe and Asia, Apple can still slip into communications that really only address the USA. The list on the Apple link cited in this discussion is definitive and the UK is not cited for any of the Hearing Features.

I also am very keen to try it and bought AirPods Pros in anticipation. In the UK 'hearing aids' are classed as level IIA medical device and are regulated by the MHRA, though it seems to me the availability, price point and sophistication of the OTC devices from Apple, Bose and several others has leapfrogged what is available on the NHS or expensive private providers and they will not be able to resist this wave (as in the U.S.)
