Intermittent Tinnitus probably noise induced
Do earmuffs work and fit correctly while wearing eyeglasses? Ideally, I'd like to get a pair that are not bulky and large. They would not have to be rated for extremely loud situations, I'd like a pair to wear on the subway, or that can be put on quickly in the street. I currently use earplugs when needed.

It likely depends on the earmuffs and the eyeglass frames, but I have not had a problem. However, my sunglasses have a much thicker frame and I'm not sure it would be as tight of a seal with them.

I own Peltor X5A, and I have no problem wearing my eyeglasses while wearing those muffs...
 
I do it all the time. It's easier to put the muffs on over the glasses than to try and put your glasses on with the muffs on.
