How do you manage wearing a facemask with hearing aids?

You can find masks that have 2 straps, one upper and one lower. No need to put strap behind ear. There are also aids that eyeglass stores sell that are a plastic strip with cutout notches that you put the regular mask straps into and the strap goes around the back of. the head eliminating the need to put behind ears.

if you wear a cap or head covering, there are some that have a ....thingy?.....that the elastic can be hooked on to. I have a cap but it's too small for my head, so.....get fitted.

I don't have a problem with the elastic and the aides, so much as my hair. I have to wear it up or the elastic works its way off my ears very quickly. As far as the aid is concerned, I have the type that is in the ear; no part is on the outside and in back of the ear. I like the ones outside better...frankly. I can control the sound a little better.
