How do you manage wearing a facemask with hearing aids?

@susan1954- There has to be a better way! My poor husband's ears are very inflamed. He complains that between the mask, hearing aids, and sunglasses there is no way he could wear masks more often.

I'm hoping that there are other suggestions to this problem?

Yes, it can be difficult and very annoying!

Someone in our small town has a 3D printer and has gotten approval from the hospital dist. and the county health dept. (we're required to wear masks in Oregon) to make shields. Because I load, unload, and distribute roughly 800 pounds of bread (around 500 loaves) every week, I wear my shield while doing that. It's hard to do heavy work wearing a mask, and the places I load and unload don't ordinarily have other people and certainly not people close to each other. I usually work alone. When I deliver to a facility that houses 70 "old" people, I wear a mask instead...even though I do not go inside the building, just unload onto their cart. I laugh about the "old" folks I deliver bread to, as most of them are far younger than my 78!

We make the clear windowed masks that have elastic that circles the head and not the ears where our hearing devices are...we don't like our instruments/devices coming off when the masks come off. Too many have been lost and can't be replaced...You can find the clear masks online or I can send you one.

@nurseheadakes- Hello, it's nice to meet you. Can I see photo of it?

@nurseheadakes Hello I like the sound of your mask My hearing aides come off also it's a pain .Where can I get one ? where are they sold

National HLAA has my short article on our Clear Mask Campaign currently going on here in FL for the hard of hearing. It is a great project for all communities to help both those who have difficulty reading lips, saving their devices, caregivers helping us, and for businesses, clinics and other providers interacting with us. Check it out today.

@nurseheadakes Thanks I,LL look at site

@nurseheadakes Do you have a place online for your Clear Mask Campaign? I'm looking for more information on the best vinyl and patterns to use. I'm having a total hip replacement in October and I'd like to get a similar campaign up and running in Portland, Oregon before then.

Yep. I made it =D
