If you have severe hearing loss you might be stuck with behind the ear hearing aids. If so you will adapt.
Hopefully someday they will make hearing aids that fit inside the ear that work for those with more serious hearing loss.

I use a BTE hearing aid and a BTE cochlear processor. I also wear glasses. I make sure when I select glasses frames that the part that goes behind my ear is thin and as straight as possible. Many frames are very thick and they definitely do fight for space with BTE hearing aids. I'm always able to find attractive frames that work.

Be sure to explain your needs to whomever is fitting your eyeglasses. They also need to understand that this can be an issue for a lot of people.
