Hi guys, this is my first question on this site! :D

I'm 14, and I just a pair of headphones (+ microphone) for my birhtday. I wear glasses. And that' not a good combination.
For the first days I was fine, but I had some pain at the back of my ears when I took the headphones off. I guessed that was unavoidable.
Now, a few days later, after I take the headphones off, I have lots (well, not very much; think like pinching yourself lightly) of pain on my left ear. :eek: The pain goes away after a few hours. The pain is NOT internal, it's at the little bones that make up the ear.
Taking my glasses off is not an option. Is there anything I can do so it work hurt when I put the headphones on? And also, does this damage my hearing in any way?

What headphone do you have?

Well that's the issue. The speakers are FULL covers. I know you probably like to block out all outside noise. But with glasses you can't use those because they squish your ears over you glasses "ear hooks"

Can you use contacts?

If not... get something like these

I have a set like that and when wearing glasses it doesn't bother me much at all.
Sound is good, they run about $30 (look at plantronics)

Firstly I will say this PLATRONICS FTW! Lol. I wear glasses as well I have a 100$ set of their's that I've worn for over 5 years without any issues and the sound quality can't be beat. (and they are the over the ear kind, but probably softer than the kind you have.) anyway aside from buying new headphones(and the kind pictured up their hurts my ears lol) try adjusting your head phones so that they push on the front of your ear and not the back, since nothing hard is in the way it should solve your issue. Hope it helps :)
