I switched to ties for the same reason but my problem was not when I put the mask on but when I took it off. My hearing aids went flying, even when I was careful. Luckily, I rarely go out in public so it hasn’t been a huge problem. Just another challenge in these interesting times. You can also make a mask with a bandana or shop towel. I used ribbons or seam tape instead of rubber bands or hair ties. That worked.
