Abstract
The inventive concept herein, entitled “Ear Free Eyewear Frames” is designed to allow users of any Over the Ear (OTE) and Behind The Ear (BTE) devices to wear these devices without interference from the temple or earpiece of the standard eyeglass frame. This includes devices such as hearing aids, earphones and hands-free phone devices similar to the commercial Blue Tooth. The inventive concept essentially comprises, on one side of a wearer's face, a short-lengthed temple or arm piece, having no bend, and no earpiece. For persons having discomfort issues or medical problems concerning both ears, the inventive concept also is fabricated with a matching pair of short temples and temple tips.
