So if you use Android you won't be able to use this feature?

Not currently, no.

I have a feeling that it might be difficult for Apple to obtain FDA authorization for a system consisting in part of a device that Apple didn't manufacture (i.e. an Android phone). Getting the iPhone + Airpods system authorized was unusual enough already.

There are a bunch of other makers already selling OTC ear aids, they will probably be a better choice specifically with android.

e.g. https://hearing.electronics.sony.com/

You can't even configure a great majority of the features on Android.
