How do you manage wearing a facemask with hearing aids?

@susan1954 That's why I suggest either around-the-head elastic or ties for those with aids. I like the elastic myself, but much care must be taken when removing to avoid the outer surface of the mask touching face or hair. We have taken to using t-shirt strips or soft elastic for the ties - more comfortable than ribbon or bias binding. Need to get back to the sewing room - requests for more masks are piling up, and I believe a lot of people will be wearing them until current infection numbers drop very low, then I expect to see them again in fall/winter cold and flu season.

Etsy has a lot of masks especially designed for hearing aid wearers. Here is one link, but there are many other pages on Etsy that also have them. https://www.etsy.com/listing/792525549/face-mask-reusable-fit-for-hearing-aids
