Hearing aids. --- it's getting about time. Problem is, they're expensive and I don't want to lose them.

And I wear glasses, especially outdoors.

So the question: Do the arms on glasses keep the top of the hearing aid less secure? Both rest on the same part of the ear.

1. I've had hearing aids for 6 years, and wear glasses

all the time. It's not an issue.

2. I don't have hearing aids-- so what I have noted may have little bearing but...

it seems from some of the older people I have spent some time with lately that a lot of newer hearing aids are "in-ear" without the "around-the-ear" loop. These look, at least, very similar to the iPods (and their cheaper knock-offs) that many of us wear running, walking, and doing all manner of active movement. So, while I'm sure there is variation of styles and models, I can attest that the in-ear iPod style actually do stay in the ear quite well. I've had the "cheaper knock-offs" for more than a year now and had no issues. I walk/hike 4 miles a day typically as well as listen to podcasts at other times and they are reasonably comfortable. I wear sunglasses outdoors most of the time. No issues, as would be expected.

3. I used to have in-ear aids, but now have behind-the-ear aids, because I am much deafer than I

used to be, and the in-ear aids can't be made powerful enough.

4. Ahh, good to know...

5. I wear BTE hearing aids and, yes, my glasses, when I put them or take them off, try to steal my hearing aids.

But the BTE ones work the best.
