Both glasses and hearing aids are devices that allow us to improve our quality of life. However, we often wonder if the use of both things at the same time is compatible.
Can you wear glasses along with a hearing aid?
In this article, we will analyze the viability of combining these two essential elements, exploring the possible solutions and alternatives that allow us to experience the comfort and functionality that we seek so much in our daily lives.
Nowadays it is as normal to wear glasses as it is to wear a hearing aid in your ear, so mixing both things should not surprise us either, but what is the best option for the combinatio of both to work perfectly?
A hearing aid cannot be chosen simply by choice or taste. You can choose the color and even the type, but always adapt to your degree of hearing loss and be guided by the instructions of your hearing care professional, who, following the results of your audiometry, will know which hearing aid model is advisable to improve your hearing.
Choose a quiet moment at home and put these tips into action with your glasses and headphones nearby:
Put on your hearing aids: First, put on your hearing aids following the instructions given to you by the hearing center based on the type of hearing aid.
For behind-the-ear hearing aids, place the device behind your ear, adjusting the earhook so that it fits comfortably over the top of your ear.
In the case of intracanals, insert them into the ear canal making sure they are well-adjusted and comfortable.
Adjust the glasses: Gently slide the temples of the glasses over your ear and headphones. Make sure they do not press on or interfere with the hearing aids. Behind-the-ear hearing aids should fit between the temple of the glasses and the outer ear.
Final adjustment: once you have the glasses and hearing aid in place, make final adjustments to ensure the comfort and effectiveness of both devices. Make sure the glasses are properly adjusted and aligned with your eyes, and that the headphones are positioned so that your hearing is not affected by friction from the microphones. Perform everyday activities to ensure that both devices remain in place and comfortable during extended use.
Although there might be some potential discomfort when wearing glasses and a hearing aid simultaneously, there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that the use of one device significantly impacts the effectiveness of the other. It is crucial, however, to ensure that both devices are properly fitted and compatible to guarantee a comfortable and satisfactory experience. Don't be discouraged or overwhelmed, as it is perfectly normal and acceptable to use both glasses and hearing aids together; it just requires proper adjustment and accommodation for your ears.
