The problem is the around the ear elastic. Often incompatible with hearing aids. Just cut the elastic bands in half and tie them to some heavy cord you can tie around your head. Real surgical masks never loop behind your ears. One nice thing is you get the cords over your head right and the nose tight, then tie the lower cords on the back of your neck. When you take it off, leave the upper cords tied. You never have to retie them again.

My wife sews folded inch-wide cloth into multiple layers to make the mask tying strips. Much easier to tie behind your head than string or cord.
