Hey guys! We are very aware of this issue, and Tumblr themselves even claim it to be an iOS (Apple) AppStore issue. Please, read the Tumblr article here and the Apple guidelines here. That said, if you open Tumblr in your web browser instead of the app, you should be able to see the content.

Sure! It’s been so long since I’ve been on tumblr that I’ve completely forgotten what I’ve said about it before but I’ll try my best not to repeat too much lol.

So basically, I personally hate earbuds and headphones (when I say headphones I’m talking about the over-the-ear ones btw!) bc they just don’t work well with hearing aids.

Also, keep in mind that this all varies from person to person!! This is only my experience.

With earbuds, you have to take out your hearing aids, which means you can barely hear the sound bc u don’t have ur hearing aids in, so u have to turn it all the way up (and most of the time even that’s not good enough for my amount of hearing loss lol). Also they just don’t really feel right in my ears to me bc I’m so used to the big type of earmold that takes up that whole area lol.

Over-the-ear headphones are annoying too, because while you can still keep in your hearing aids, it causes a lot of feedback and is really uncomfortable. It smushes your ears and hearing aids and can start hurting. Also, headphones are centered around the main part of the ear because that’s where the sound goes in for ppl without hearing aids (obviously lol). However, hearing aids have microphones on top of the part that goes behind your ear, which is just a really inconvenient spot when ur wearing headphones bc they aren’t directing the sound at the microphones unless you adjust it so it’s sitting on that part which is also very uncomfortable.

Headphones also cause a lot of feedback - when ur hearing aids aren’t fully in your ear, they’ll make a loud ringing noise (feedback, like when you get a mic too close to the speakers and stuff). Headphones smush the ears and hearing aids in a certain way so that it’s rly hard to keep them in the ear fully so they won’t create feedback, be comfortable, and still be able to hear properly.

Now, I’m sure there are more accessible options out there, but they’re not too easy to come by and also probably pretty expensive. So all in all, earbuds and headphones are pretty uncomfortable with hearing aids and I suggest Bluetooth :/
