If a mini facelift is performed and you wear hearing aids inside the ears, will you be able to wear these and hear again?

You should still be able to wear your aids after facelift surgery though it can take a few days for the swelling to settle. I recommend removing them during surgery as a small amount of blood or fluid on your hearing aids can destroy them. In most cases, the hearing aids can be replaced after about 72 hours. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

You are correct in being concerned about this issue. Most of my patients with hearing aids need at least 3-5 days before being able to reinsert the aids and depending on the amount of your hearing loss that can be very annoying. Shortly, however, you can go back to full-time wearing but occasionally the mold may have to be modified.
