How would that work if you had to wear both over ear HAs and glasses?
 
No problem for me. I have plastic or acetate glasses. I can't stand metal feeling or the nose pads.

Fits fine, with no pain.
 
if the arms on the glasses are skinny enough, then it shouldn't be much of a problem.
 
i am having trouble with my little guys glasses and hearing aids..his are thick plastic frames and they seem to dislodge the hearing aids..its a pain in the ass so we are asking for those metal frames that loop under the ears..maybe those will work.

Have they fitted the tube length with his glasses on? I only wear one BTE aid but find that made a real difference.
 
I wear glasses and CI and it's never been a problem for me but ymmv.
 
I've worn glasses and hearing aids for the last 17 years. Just enough space to squeeze both onto my ears. In fact I often wear inductive ear hooks as well, so I reckon my ears are super strong to hold up all that weight...

:laugh2: Bionic ears! :lol:

Metal temples for me. My current pair of eyeglasses are plastic except for the "side arms". I find the the thinner they are, the more comfortable my ears are.
 
I don't wear glasses but I wear sunglasses a lot and I never even notice if it is an issue....

I was first fitted with hearing aids when I was eleven but wore them only for a very short time before discarding them due to noise distortion resulting in headaches and irritation from the mold in my ear. When I was 14 I needed and got glasses. At 15 I tried HAs again - This time with 2 BTEs only to find that with wearing glasses too, they cut into my ears and got easily infected due to the humidity in the tropics. I stopped wearing HAs altogether now and I am very happy without them. But on a positive note about the aids - I have been told that you can get the aids specially fitted to your glasses so they do not rub or chaffe or cut into your ears.

I wear glasses for reading , i like thin wire arms as they are light and not get the way too much of my HA.
 
I can't imagine. I wear glasses and can't even wear headband with them. Too much behind my ear. Headband knocks glasses out of place. HAs much bigger! Looks like would be so annoying.

Same here, HAs for forty years, glasses for thirty, you just get used to it! Also use fm receivers sometimes too, which makes HAs even larger, but the glasses have never been a problem.

I've got lots of scar tissue behind my left ear too, from mastoidectomy surgery when I was a kid, which very easily gets irritated. Despite this, wearing HAs and glasses is still OK, like I said you just get used to it.
 
I've worn glasses for over 10 years and a hearing aid in my right ear since I was 3, and I've never had trouble.
