Abstract
An accessory for eyeglasses that functions as a combined hearing aid and/or eyeglasses retention device which can maintain housings of behind the ear (BTE) hearing aids in place on a user's ears. The combined hearing aid and/or eyeglasses retention device can also maintain eyeglasses from slipping down the nose of a user which also maintains the device at its optimal position to retain housings of BTE hearing aids in place. The combined hearing aid and/or eyeglasses retention device also prevents displacement of BTE housing(s) off a user's ears when a user removes a mask. The combined hearing aid and/or eyeglasses retention device can also be a ‘standalone’ eyeglasses retention device when a user does not wear BTE hearing aids.
