Hi Stacey this model goes over the ear not inside so it will work great with your dads hearing aids

Goes over the ear and has padding between ear and device. I highly recommend this Bluetooth, especially for first time users.

It fits over the ear. There are several ear pads to choose from. Also, of the three methods of wearing it (standard over the head headset, behind the neck, and hanging from the ear) provided, I prefer the behind the neck method.

It goes over the ear it the best bluetooth I believe on the market I have been using them for years I believe it will work the best for your farther it comes with three different ways to ware it and two different size ear cushions hope this was helpful

This model is outside the ear and has several different options and sizes for comfort.

Yes it would sit on top of his hearing aide. Remember the Walkman earphones that set on top of your ear canal this is the style of the earpiece.

It does not fit snug but it fits because I wear glasses however I found another problem. When I'm talking to someone they don't hear me as clearly as I thought they did very disturbing because I paid so much money for this. And I tried different people I then put in my old Apple EarPods and they work much better. I'm wondering if it's a difference because this is Bluetooth and the other ones are not

My problem with the earpiece is that it never feels secure in my ear -- if I walk with it in, it even falls out sometime. I have the smallest insert on the earpiece, but it doesn't help (note that I have the same problem with the standard iPod headphone) -- is there a solution for this?

There are several variations. One fits in the ear canal with a plastic piece wrapping over and behind the ear. There is also a padded earpiece that sits on one ear being held by a band going either over the top or behind the head...like headset but only sitting over one ear. The one in the ear seems loose and not too secure. There is no attachment that cups over the ear like an audiophile headphone.

I found the entire product substandard.The ear piece is designed to go over the ear, make sure this will work for, also, it would not stay on my head, not enough sqeezing pressure, be careful with this one, best of luck...

I have hearing aids & it fits comfortably over most of my ear without putting pressure on the hearing devices. I imagine if your ear is larger than 2.25 inches approx. top to bottom, then it will fit on. Conversely, if your ear is smaller than 2.25 inches top to bottom, it will probably totally encompass your ear.

I have two devices that I use in alternation, one ear, then the other ear. I choose not to use both ear pieces at the same time due to the sound amplification beings "too loud". For me at least. But the devices work wonderfully well in amplifying high tone sounds and words, which is what I was lacking. Tom.

These fit over your ears. I would say go to the next size up to fit the hearing aid. If the hearing aid is big behind your ear it might not fit properly.

Dear William,Thank you for your question regarding our BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone. The over-ear design of the BTH220 allows them to stay in place during exercise more effectively than traditional headband-style headsets. For this reason, many of our customers use them expressly as a running headset.Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.Thank you,Kinivo Product SupportEmail: support@kinivo.comToll Free: 1-855-4Kinivo (1-855-454-6486)Live Chat: http://support.kinivo.com(Mon-Fri: 9am-5pm Pacific) Dear William,Thank you for your question regarding our BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone.

I don't always wear my bluetooth. Therefore, I use that tab as a marker as to the fit of it in my ear for when I re-insert it into my ear. In other words where the tab sits against my ear once I adjusted the fit, is where I put that tab every time I re-inset my bluetooth . Hope this helps.

The behind the ear headphones which I bought for my husband who has Alzheimer's are not the best for him. They interfere with his glasses and don't fit properly over the ears. It may be that his head is rather large. I have been using ear buds which work very well.

My experience is that it comes through both sides. I would check the placement of your earpieces and make sure they line up properly. That may be part of your issue. Other then that it appears not to be functioning correctly.

How big of ears do you have :-)Honestly tho, they are over the ear. I have two of these, the standard and the 5.1 series. Standard for my son, he's 8 and the 5.1 for me. I use these headphones for my PC, Xbox, Wii, Android, Tablet, Surface, anywhere. Now, most of those I have a stereo mini plug for them, but, the bluetooth transmitter does work with my surface and are pretty cool looking. If this company made a noise cancellation model, I would get it as well.More info than you wanted, but, I tried many headphones...From Medusa, to Turtle Beach, to Sennheiser, to Sony, to Logitech, to Triton, etc, etc...and a few off names in between. For the money, these are great. How big of ears do you have :-)Honestly tho, they are over the ear. I have two of these, the standard and the 5.1 series.

I think several have answered very well, the unit itself is a very good hands free unit. I too am hard of hearing and I tried a in-the-ear type wireless Bluetooth. I couldn't hear unless I kept a finger on it and pushed it into my ear. This headset works great because it is an earphone that holds itself to your ear. As others have said, if your aid is in your ear, it should work fine.

the inserts do not go into the ear canal. the loop on the earpiece sets in the fold of the ear just above the earlobe. It just hangs in place.. takes some getting use to. but that way it isnt cutting out any of the sound around the wearer.

Yes...my husband takes the hearing aid oiut of his ear...opens it so it doesn't drain battery and puts it in the dri-eze container

It fits over your ears, If you have small ears? It'll fit snuggly over your ears. If you have larger than normal ears, you could still try to fit them in lol
