Magnifying Lamp

Ladies if you can help—if not I’ll have to join Tik Tok to get an answer. :melting_face:

This issue is my ears, I wear hearing aids AND reading glasses when I crochet ( and to read anything). I wear 2.50 strength. The top of my ears are sore.

I’d like to get a magnifying lamp to give my ears a rest. I had bought a couple lamps from Amazon but still needed my readers??

Any suggestions/ solutions?

Oh, I tried those glasses so you can crochet lying down, still needed my darn readers!

I had a regular set of glasses that made my ear hurt. And when I got my new glasses, I had them adjust the old ones for me and they’re fine now. So maybe a minor adjustment with the glasses would fix them for you.

Have you ever considered contacts?

I have hearing aids too, so I feel your pain. Also, you could go the next step up on the length of your hearing aid wires from the reciever to the battery. Adding the glasses might be stretching them so it’s actually the lines that might be hurting by digging in. It is not difficult to have your audiologist change the wires out. Each clinic I have ever used have different lengths on hand to make adjustments.

Yes, I tried the contact route. I don’t remember but I’ve got something going on with depth perception so that when I wear them I get dizzy.

I have blue tooth hearing aids? Do you mean change the tuning out?

Also, I just use readers from the store. They are particular brand and style I get that has springs.

Most hearing aids now days have bluetooth capability. What do yours look like?

I assumed that you have hearing aids where the computer/battery/microphone part sits over your ear and there is a tube with a wire connected to the actual speaker that gets inserted into your ear.

I assumed this was the kind you have as it physically can get in the way when wearing glasses.

I was just suggesting getting longer wires as they really can dig into your ears if they are already a bit short and you add glasses.

I was wondering if you could get reading glasses that dont have frames that go to your ears.

Look up “armless reading glasses” on Amazon.

My hearing aids are different, I have tubes with custom made molds.

Here’s a picture of them.

Right. Me too. Again, the tube part between the mold and the part that goes behind your ear comes in varying lengths and can be switched out in 10 min or so by audiologists using tools at their office.

Not saying that is your problem, but it could be from my experience.
