AirPods 3rd Gen do have some features that enhance music listening but are not hearing aids. The AirPods Pro have even more features but are also not hearing aids. How you use them is up to you but if you have moderate to severe hearing loss a true hearing aid might be better but it can't hurt to try AirPods and see if they work for you. If you try them please post back your opinion for other users here on the forum.
