Just about every hearing aid maker has something like this. It's not
unique to Widex, or Oticon, or any other make.

Hi, guys.
I wear hearing aids in both ears. I found a device that allows me to use my
hearing aids as headphones.
My hearing aids are made by Widex. Wide offers a small accessory device called
the MDEX, which communicates by radio waves (not Bluetooth) with the two
hearing aids. The MDEX communicates by Bluetooth with cell phones and any other
devices that have Bluetooth audio capability. The MDEX (which is about half
the size of a pack of cigarettes) can also be connected directly to the K3 with
a mini-stereo cable. In that mode, the K3 audio goes directly to my hearing
aids. I can shut off room noise if I wish, or leave it to be piped into my ears
along with the radio audio.
More info is available at
http://www.widex.com/en/products/accessories/dex/mdex/ about the MDEX device.
Warning: this is not a low-budget solution to the headset problem. The hearing
aids are $3K each, and the MDEX costs about $400. But it works well when I want
to use the hearing aids as a headset, either for ham radio or music listening
purposes.
