Wearing masks with over the ear hearing side

Posted by akalsas @akalsas, Nov 14, 2020

“I have stopped wearing my aids when masks required because when talking ,etc my aids have been almost lost because the movement of mask makes for a dangerous situation. Having had the scare of the aids being dangling from behind the ear frequently. What do others do?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Hearing Loss Support Group.

I wear a face shield that goes on like eye glasses. I am a heavy breather with low oxygen blood ratio when sleeping or stressed and also some claustrophobia. I only wear the mask covering mouth when required and then it has the window for lip reading. The shield covers my whole face
and protects my eyes also. I use window wipes (ammonia free) to clean both sides each time I wear it. So comfortable I sometimes forget I have it on

@th1 If you didn't make the mask can you say what kind of place you got it at?

Many thanks! I don't know how to email you! Could you advise on that?

Please. I've somehow made a mistake. I get "hundreds" of Mayo Clinic notices every day. I have to unfollow with everything I am so overwhelmed.

Nurseheadakes.... How would I get three of your masks. I would like to have them available when my daughter and spouses visit so I can perhaps more easily be part of the conversation. How much are the masks? Judy

Hello Eloise,

I am not sure whether this is the correct place to send you my address? By looking at your article I have not been able to figure how to send it to you!

Best Regards,

Barbara
