As regards not understanding why I cannot just place the phone near my

That's what the "T" position on a hearing aid is for. Switches off
the microphone and switches on a magnetic pickup coil. Assuming the
phone has a coil based ear piece transducer you get a direct feed of
the phone into your aid. Also useable at many checkouts and in
cinemas, theatres other venues equiped with a "loop" system.
I would hope an hearing aid with Bluetooth has it in addition to "T".
I find T particularly useful in public halls where the PA system isn't
properly set up. You can hear the speaker very clearly.
