Hearing loss and cognitive decline

I was examined by an ENT and I have mild cognitive impairment and vertigo. My hearing loss resulted in my having to wear hearing aids. My vertigo therapy didn’t work. So this was abut 6 years ago.
I can’t wear my hearing aids because I wear eyeglasses and they constantly compete for ear space at the top of my ear with my eyeglasses.
My hearing is a little bit off. I have a hard time keeping up with people talking to me or just talking.
How do you keep hearing aids from sliding off your ears? I don’t wear my brand new hearing aids anymore because of this issue. My glasses either sit on the back of the hearing aids pushing them forward or sliding down my ears and getting all crooked.

Unfortunately the eyeglasses won out and my hearing aids are sitting in their case. I haven’t worn hearing aids in a long time and just deal with the lack of hearing properly.
I was tested for dementia at a memory center hospital and my tests were fine. No dementia or altzheimers but I was diagnosed with a mild cognitive impairment. I don’t know what the solution is. I was thinking of in-the -ear hearing aids but they are super expensive.

I am 50, have other health problems causing MCI and hearing loss, and I tried hearing aids with glasses and it was awful - glasses sat crooked or hearing aids were crooked, I ended up having to ruin the arms on my frames to bend around the aid where it looped up and over. I eventually got rid of the aids - I don’t really need to hear anything because I hardly speak to anyone/have anyone near me (I have no family and an immune disease so socialising is 100% not possible for someone like me). And the issue I found with tiny in ear aids is the problem of dropping/losing them - I have peripheral neuropathy so I couldn’t feel them in my hands, so I would drop them when trying to put them in/take them out. Now, I just wear earbuds Bluetoothed to my phone, and turn them up so they are loud, so I can hear things clearly as needed via the phone. If someone has a tone of voice I cannot hear (certain pitch/tone voices I just can’t hear at all), I use the voice recorder on my phone and blast the recording via the earbuds into my mostly useless ears 😉
I don’t own any hearing aids anymore - they just were not practical or suitable for concurrent glasses frame use.

That’s similar to what I went through. Eyeglasses and “regular “ hearing aids that loop around your ears simply aren’t feasible.

The in-ear aids are too tiny for me to handle. You’re right. They are easy to drop and even lose. I’m not getting any more hearing aids. First of all mine had pill batteries that only seemed to last 3 days.

Too much aggravating to keep up with. I no longer wear any because eyeglasses are more important to me. The mild cognitive impairment was determined to be more due to the use of certain medication than the beginning of dementia.

I have over the ear hearing aids (Phonak Naida Q) and I wear glasses. I have no problems with these hearing aids. Also the best thing that I love about these hearing aids is Blue Tooth. These are VA hearing aids. My cell phone is on Blue Tooth and my TV. Now I am not blasting out the wife or friends and my cell phone is very clear. I now understand the value of Blue Tooth for me. I want to tell everyone when you get a hearing aid please make sure it has Blue Tooth. You and your family will love it. Also they are recharge type.

I have a Bluetooth capable phone and use it a lot because I have Bluetooth headphones. The hearing aids were Bluetooth and adjustable either by the app on the phone or manually by buttons on the hearing aids.

My phone can take the headphones and hearing aids independently but the hearing aids are not rechargeable. It’s just a pain.

I love the fact that mine are rechargeable. Its great.

Yes rechargeable would be nice - I had batteries to replace every couple of days and I kept dropping them/the hearing aids trying to get the battery out! Not being able to feel your own hands is a significant barrier to handling tiny things with dexterity. The tiny flimsy door on the aids to access the batteries..I was sure I was going to destroy them, having destroyed many tiny fragile things inadvertently in the past. I just use my Mifo earbuds turned up all the way, bluetoothed to my phone/car/stereo - they’re rechargeable, small enough to fit in ear but large enough to handle without dropping, with better sound quality, at around 1/6th the price of the aids I had.

Are you ex military. If so go to them for free hearing aids, no cost to you just get appt.

Decent hearing aids or cheap ones ? I am a veteran so I will check to see what they have. Right now my non veteran insurance company is paying 100% for two but they sit on my ear competing with my glasses stem. I’ll have to check it out.
Thanks!

I'm wondering if this is what's going on with my memory. Our father passed had Alzheimers so that's in the forefront of my mind.
I have tinnitus 24/7 along with slight hearing loss. I struggle at work to remember the 100's of tasks that are thrown at me in this multi-tasking world. I am not a good fit for multi tasking and the memory issues compound that.
I've brought up the tinnitus to my previous MD and it was brushed off...not even discussed. I have a new primary whom I like and trust and will pass it by him for some feedback.
