Hearing Aids and Glasses
Wearing a hearing aid with glasses can sometimes become problematic. Some people are afraid of using a hearing aid with their glasses. It’s because they thought it could be uncomfortable using both together at a time.
In today’s life, it has become a more popular combination, especially for elders. They need this combination to perform their daily activities. With proper care and the right choice of both glasses frame and hearing aids, you can enjoy hearing with little mess.
In the market, there are many types of hearing aid are available in different shapes and sizes. The most popular type is in the canal, behind the ear, and in the ear such as the HD 250 digital hearing aid.
So, if we wear hearing aid and glasses together there is no side effect. And this is true for all situations except for the occasional “thump” noise when putting the glasses on after your hearing aids.
This occurs only because of the earpieces of the glass that can hit the microphone of hearing aid. The worst case is when the glasses touch the hearing aid and stops when the glasses are on.
Hearing aid poses no problem in the ear and the canal of the ear with wearing glasses. But if the whole device goes inside the ear then the hearing aid may cause some discomfort if not cited properly. But, it doesn’t mean that the hearing aid is not good for the glass wearer.
Some people who are suffering from both hearing and visibility problems may feel discomfort in front of others when their aid is visible.
Because of that, there are some invisible hearing aids also. And they can also choose lenses instead of glasses. While this may be convenient for some people but it is not universal.
