In preparation for selecting a hearing aid:

I put on & take off readers multiple times each day, so I am concerned about this activity interfering with the hearing aid especially if it is a BTE style.
Anyone else having the same issues or someone that has solved this with proper selection of the hearing aid style?
Many thanks,
Mark

Best advice is to get glasses that have narrow bows. There are many stylish glasses frames that have them. I use glasses, a BTE hearing aid and a cochlear processor that fits behind the ear. No problem, but I'm careful about selecting the right style of eye glasses.

Do your readers have thick bows?

I was in sales my entire career and because I was constantly forgetting to bring in my reading glasses I had glasses that were readers on the bottom and clear on the top. Problem solved.
As I got older I required a slight correction on my distance vision and the top half are prescription. This is great with sunglasses as well. You will pay more money but you will never need readers again which worked well for me.
I hope this helps.
