    The cord idea for hearing aids could also be good when wearing masks since many people have lost aids due to masks. Having the cord might help give that extra security so aids won't get knocked to the ground when taking the mask off. Thanks for all the tips.

    Im a glasses and hearing aid user. I have had glasses since I was 4 and 4 years later I got hearing aids. I was not born hard of hearing. I was born hearing. Most of my hearing loss is caused by ear infections that were not treated early on because my parents didn’t know I had ear infections because I never complained my ears hurt or ran a fever. I failed a hearing test at school in kindergarten that’s how they knew. I do say “a” at the end of my words because I don’t hear myself saying it. My mom thought I would out grow it when people would mention it to her. She didn’t make the connect that I could of had a hearing loss at the time. And I didn’t get hearing aids until I was in second grade. I am moderate to sever in my right ear and I’m sever to profound in my left ear. I also have a permanent hole in my left ear drum because one doctor put the wrong set of tubes in my ears. I’m now 27. I do not qualify for the cochlear implant. I have the the Phonak Nadia B90 SP hearing aids in the color black with purple ear molds. I also have a ruby red Phonak Rodger Pen FM system. I also use American Sign Language. I am the only sibling with a hearing loss. I’m the oldest of 4 kids and my parents are hearing. My moms sister is fully deaf on one side.

    I have to say & I have said it before Emily but your glasses really suit you! Its a shame you don't wear them all the time as your passionate about hearing aids! I was hoping you were as passionate about glasses as there are still people out there that won't wear them! You have so many hearing aid followers perhaps you may be able to help our short sighted/long sighted friends! I love the blue tint on them they look like they are for using the computer etc!

      It sound like your hearing aids don't fit snuggly enough. I recommend visiting your hearing aid provider and requesting that they shorten your hearing aid tubes or wire. That should solve the issue.

    I’ve had issues with last 2 pair of glasses so did this search on how to manage both and what is sard most often is put your glasses on first. I thought maybe my arm was too short ( thus changing the l way they sir ) but you mention when it’s too long it interferes. I never take my aides out till bedtime. Think I’ll change where I buy glasses as the sales person at audiologist office doesn’t seem to have suggestions.

    • @DefiniteHearing
      @DefiniteHearing  Год назад +1

      Yeah the audiologist doesn’t specialize in glasses. I go to an optometrist to get my glasses prescription and fill it on eyebuydirect.com.

    Hi! I wear glasses, and hearing aids. It is easy to do, but watch out if your hearing aids tend to fall out, they might fall when removing your glasses.

  • @candyh3693

    For me with glasses width of the ear rests also makes a difference - generally speaking wire or very thin plastic ear rest are best for me (YMMV). I can wear thicker but my HA's will have a cow eg feedback every now and again - yes, my HA's have feedback suppression and it's instantly squelched but it happens every time i move them put them on etc) eg: my oakley wayfarer style sunglasses are too thick - my raybans wayfarer style are just right. So i agree you just have to pay attention to the frames when purchasing. My issue lately has been HA's, sun glasses or cheaters AND masks and having the elastic from the mask get tangled with the behind the ear part of my HAs. Oh and lasik, i had early cataracts (i was born w/Rubella thus my hearing loss and eye problems are a result) when i had cataract surgery on my left eye they found out i'd had a double astigmatism in that eye (corneal and lenticular) that for my whole life canceled each other out so my vision was fine, when i had the cataract surgery that took away the lenticular astigmatism and left the corneal astigmatism - thus after surgery i had double vision. They did lasik to make it right - so for me it was a necessity. I don't regret it, my vision today is phenomenal and i use cheaters for close up stuff. Once again, i wrote a novel LMAO - loved your video and i'll be using your hack!

    • @DefiniteHearing

    I wear glasses (I'm legally blind in my left eye, with glasses, and low-vision in my right). I wanted to try an experiment to attach my HAs right onto the glasses' arms... I used small hair ties, and wrapped them a few times around the earhooks of my HAs (Phonak Naida UP btes--pretty big HAs!), and then poke the arms into the loops around my HAs. The verdict: 'twas quite awkward and difficult, and the HAs seemed to pull upward, rather than sit back far around my ears like I like. They deafinitely ;) stayed very securely to my glasses, but yeah, my head felt like a cyborg, hahaha. I tried loosening the hair ties, but then my HAs weren't as tight as before; they fit a bit noticeably looser, but they were still on my glasses. It was an intriguing concept, especially because if I had kept them on like that, I'd have no choice but TO wear everyday (I'm terrible at wearing my HAs; bad deafie, haha!)...but, I ended up just wearing them without the ties.

      Some people would argue that not wearing aids consistently makes you a better deafie lol. Wearing hearing aids makes us more "hearie" ;) Way to try something new!

    Have any of your followers reported any problems with hearing aids with touch control being disconnected from a phone call because of movement between the glasses and the hearing aids. I have a new pair of hearing aids and when I am on an extended call over 30 minutes sometimes if I touch my glasses or move suddenly I get disconnected. I would be interested if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Thanks.

    • @DefiniteHearing
      @DefiniteHearing  2 года назад

      I have had that happen to me. It is annoying and I usually just hop back on the call. I've noticed it tends to happen when battery levels in my phone or aids are low. Have you noticed that?
      I will keep this on my radar and let you know of anything.

    Growing up wearing glasses and hearing aids, did you do anything to prevent the tops of your ears from growing in a way that sticks out or did you just get lucky in that respect?

    • @DefiniteHearing
      @DefiniteHearing  3 года назад

      Great question... I've never thought about this. I do like to have my hair over my ears when pulled back in to a pony tail. I wonder if that helped and I rarely wore my hair down. I also sleep on my side. I wonder if those two things helped with that?

    • @DefiniteHearing
      @DefiniteHearing  2 года назад

      It sounds like your tubes could be too long, causing the hearing aids to bounce and hit the glasses. Or you could put a small cloth sleeve on the glasses arm to prevent the loud sound.

      @@DefiniteHearing Thanks so much. My mild hearing loss was diagnosed after I just went to be tested out of curiosity. I can hear birds chirping, trees and stuff but I lost mostly lower frequencies. Some of my higher frequencies are still in the "normal" section. I've also begun to use ear protection because my loss is probably nice induced (loud music exposure). I am also a singer.
      If I keep protecting my hearing from loud music and sounds, how quickly do you think the loss would progress? If at all?
      Sorry if this is long winded. I was just soo down this week and I needed to talk to someone about it.

      @@EdinamDeanI have same problem. But my ent doctor says that staying away from sound will stop further hearing loss. But after 10 year with mild hearing loss in right ear and no hearing loss in left ear and it has increased to severe hearing loss in right and mild hearing loss in left ear. I have started using hearing aid. Also, my tinnitus which was only in right ear has reached my left side too. I am very afraid not only of going deaf but also of the fact that with deteriorated hearing its perception will phantom. Dean have you found whether noise induced hearing loss is progressive or not, even if we limit ourselves to loud noise encounter and taking every measures or all our effort to preserve our hearing will go in vain. Please reply as I am going crazy.

      They should be a proper length. Meaning the best fit, not long or short, will most likely offer the most comfort when layering hearing devices.
