Eargo uses their own App so their aids are tiny w/o BT
They are Bluetooth. They use Bluetooth LE (low energy). Without Bluetooth (or wifi) they couldn't communicate through the cloud or direct to update the app data.

"Furthermore, when paired with Eargo Neo’s charging cradle via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which sends usage data to Eargo’s team of licensed hearing professionals through the cloud, users can receive continually updated sound settings based on their usage and preferences."
