Best hearing aid when wearing glasses

Many people who wear both glasses and hearing aids wonder which combination works best. This is because the space behind the ear, where the glasses sit, can become sore due to the weight of certain hearing aid models, which creates a feeling of pressure behind the ear

Hearing technology is always evolving

We're here to be your guide, making the most advanced hearing aid technology simple, and perfectly suited to your needs. Our purpose is to combine superior expertise with ongoing care, so you can step into each day with confidence and joy.

Enhancing vision and hearing with hearing glasses

In recent years the concept of hearing aid glasses has evolved significantly. Traditional hearing aids worn alongside spectacles remain a common and effective solution — but there are new possibilities that may merge eyewear and hearing technology in the future. At its 2025 Connect event, industry-leader Meta introduced the Ray-Ban Display smart glasses. With these glasses “you can let AI see what you see, hear what you hear”*.

While these devices are currently designed primarily for augmented-reality, voice control, live captions and translation, the underlying audio and AI features hint at future roles in hearing assistance. This convergence means that someone who wears glasses might one day have an integrated solution — combining vision support, hearing help and intelligent features in a single stylish frame.

Hearing aid glasses: how do they work?

Hearing glasses combine the benefits of both hearing aids and glasses in a single device. This innovative technology is seamlessly integrated into the earpiece, making it a discreet and effective solution. By using a receptor placed on the mastoid bone, these glasses transmit sound vibrations directly to the cochlea and inner ear.

Bone conduction glasses

These bone-conduction hearing glasses effectively work through a receiver inserted into the ear canal, which rests on the mastoid bone. This mechanism transfers sound vibrations from the stimulus to the bone and directly to the cochlea and inner ear.

Pros and cons of using hearing glasses

Pros

Pros of using hearing glasses

Thanks to a straightforward clip system, transitioning between different pairs of eyeglasses while using hearing aids is easy. The controls and battery compartments of the hearing aids are designed to be user-friendly. Not to mention, converting your current eyeglasses into hearing glasses is a hassle-free process.

Cons

Cons of using hearing glasses

There are few limitations for hearing glasses: they may not be easily adjustable; they typically work best for mild hearing loss and can be inconvenient if you don’t always wear glasses or need to switch between different pairs. Repairs can also be problematic as you won’t be able to use the glasses and hearing aid during the repair process.
