Hearing Aids and Glasses: The Ultimate Guide to Wearing Both Comfortably | Hearing Aid In Mumbai

If you wear glasses, the thought of adding a hearing aid to the mix might feel daunting. Will they tangle? Will it hurt behind my ears? Will I accidentally knock my hearing aid off when removing my specs?

These are common concerns, but the good news is that glasses and hearing aids can coexist perfectly. With a few adjustments and the right fitting, you can enjoy crystal-clear vision and hearing simultaneously—without the discomfort.

At Acoustik Hearing And Speech Clinic, we have helped countless clients in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Thane find the perfect balance. Here is our expert guide on how to wear both with confidence.

1. The "Glasses First" Rule

The golden rule for Behind-the-Ear (BTE) or Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) hearing aids is the order of application.

Step 1: Put your glasses on first. Ensure the arms of the glasses rest comfortably against your head.
Step 2: Place the hearing aid between the arm of your glasses and your outer ear.
Why? Your glasses are rigid, while the hearing aid wire or tube is flexible. Placing the hearing aid on the outside allows it to adjust around the glasses, preventing pressure points.

2. Choose the Right Frames

If you are due for new glasses, consider frames with thin wire arms rather than thick plastic ones. Thin arms leave more "real estate" behind the ear, providing ample room for your hearing device to sit snugly without crowding the area.

3. Opt for Custom or Low-Profile Hearing Aids

Technology has come a long way. Modern hearing aids are sleeker than ever.

RIC (Receiver-in-Canal): These are incredibly small and sit discreetly behind the ear, often interfering very little with eyewear.
ITC/CIC (In-the-Canal): If you want to avoid behind-the-ear conflict entirely, ask your audiologist about custom in-the-ear models. These sit inside the ear canal and do not touch your glasses at all.

4. Practice Makes Perfect

When you first get your hearing aids, practice taking your glasses off with two hands. Pull them forward rather than tipping them up. This ensures you don’t accidentally dislodge the hearing aid. After a few days, this movement will become muscle memory.

5. Get a Professional Fit (At Home!)

The most common cause of discomfort isn't the hardware—it's the fit. A professional audiologist can adjust the curvature of the hearing aid wire to perfectly match the shape of your ear and glasses.
