is the battery life on airpods pro 3 too short to use as hearing aids?

Here's what the specs page says about battery life for the APP3:

Battery

AirPods Pro 3

• • Up to 8 hours of listening time on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation enabled (up to 7.5 hours with Spatial Audio and Head Tracking enabled)17
  • Up to 6.5 hours of listening time on a single charge with heart rate sensing during workouts18
  • Up to 10 hours of listening time on a single charge in Transparency using the Hearing Aid feature19

AirPods Pro 3 with MagSafe Charging Case (USB‑C)20

• • Up to 24 hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation enabled21
  • 5 minutes in the case provides around 1 hour of listening time22

Also here's the footnote on the hearing aid feature:

6 - The Hearing Aid feature has received FDA authorization. The Hearing Test and Hearing Aid features are supported on AirPods Pro 2 and later with the latest firmware paired with a compatible iPhone or iPad with iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 and later and are intended for people 18 years old or older. The Hearing Aid feature is also supported on a compatible Mac with macOS Sequoia and later. It is intended for people with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss.

I couldn't find anything about battery life with hearing aid mode but searches have reported the 10 hours. You might put them in the case for a half hour or so during the day of around dinner to get more time on the battery.
