Finding the right pair of glasses can be tricky. You have to consider the right shape for your face, pick a good color and ensure they\u2019re comfortable. To help remove any uncertainty, wear your hearing aids to the glasses appointment. You can try on different frames and find a pair that works well with your devices. If you\u2019re ordering frames online and can\u2019t try them on, opt for thinner frames, as they\u2019re more likely to sit comfortably with your hearing aids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Put Your Hearing Aids on First<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your new glasses, you can think about the best way to wear them with your hearing aids. In most cases, you should put your hearing aids on first to get them properly aligned before you put on your glasses. If your hearing aids shift or sit weirdly after you put your glasses on, try repositioning both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Practice Patience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll probably remember that it took a little time to get used to your hearing aids, and the same is true of glasses. You may initially find wearing hearing aids with your new glasses frustrating or uncomfortable. Don\u2019t worry too much about this. You will likely acclimate to your new hearing and seeing combo in no time. If the discomfort lasts more than a couple of weeks, contact your hearing aid specialist to discuss your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Take Steps To Secure Your Devices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some people worry that they\u2019ll lose or damage their hearing aids when taking their glasses on and off. To help keep track of your devices, consider using retention clips or lanyards to secure them to your shirt. If you\u2019re concerned about damaging your devices when putting on or removing your glasses, take a little extra time to place your glasses gently on your ears. Over time, you\u2019ll be able to wear both without frequent repositioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
