If you use the right app for it I'm sure they can.
It would use the phone microphone and send the audio to the earbuds, I suspect a slight delay.
I'm not gonna search but if you do I'm sure there must be a few apps already.
Although if your going to try, I'd try some cheaper copy earbuds unless you already have the expensive apple ones.
EDIT: OK so I did search.

I don't think they will be able to work as well as a hearing aid that can be tuned to amplify the bits your not hearing though.

TBH I'd like to try this (on android) myself, as I do have a pair of ordinary hearing aids but don't wear them at work as it's too noisy.
I cannot hear the radio well so could simply use in ear speakers to listen to music and use it for an amplifier (well the latter will be the excuse lol)
