What is a the difference between something like samsung/apple buds vs hearing aids? I know hearing aids is much more expensive in most cases, but why can't you just use the buds instead?

They are self contained (do not need to be paired to another device to function). They are also more than simple audio amplifiers. Hearing loss generally affects high frequency sound first, so hearing aids can be tuned to the specific user's audiogram, and shift high frequency sounds lower, etc.
