Could you build this?
No Building a real-time hearing aid/sound amplifier requires low-latency Digital Signal Processing (DSP), acoustic feedback cancellation, and low-level native audio pipelines (AAudio/Oboe) on Android.
What it would actually take: A functional real-time amplifier requires low-level C++ DSP coding hooked into Android's AAudio or Oboe APIs to achieve sub-20ms round-trip audio latency. It must incorporate advanced digital signal processing techniques, including active acoustic feedback cancellation, dynamic range compression (DRC), and noise suppression without introducing audio phase distortion or artifacts. This requires specialized audio engineering expertise and deep knowledge of mobile hardware audio drivers.
