Many masks, including N95 models, have two horizontal bands rather than ear loops.

Those would still work...
Horace Grant style glasses too. Or contacts of course.
That just leaves hearing aides. But if you didn't have ears... well do you mean the whole thing or just the auricle? Because maybe the audio stuff would be unnecessary anyway.

I definitely can't do dangling but the studs actually help me keep my masks on my inadequate ears.

Thanks for that. Obviously others have the same dilemma.
