Hearing aids should not negatively affect your life or the way you live. You shouldn’t have to stop doing the things you enjoy simply because you have a hearing issue. Typically, it’s fine for most individuals to wear hearing aids even while working out or doing other activities that get the heart pumping.

Just be certain you are educated about the proper maintenance and care for your hearing aid. By ensuring you take essential measures to reduce moisture, avoid injury, and maintain a regular post-exercise regimen, you can participate in various physical activities without any problems.

Keep Hearing Aids Safe And Dry: Use clips attached to clothing, retainers, or sports headbands to keep your hearing aids in position. This will supply added protection and decrease the danger of accidents or damage.

Prevent Damage from Dampness: Consider investing in a protective cover or making use of a sweat-absorbing accessory.

Ensure Proper Fit: This is essential as your body is constantly moving while you exercise. Hearing aids need to fit securely to prevent movement while you exercise.

Maintain Your Hearing Aids After a Workout: After exercising, it’s important to give your hearing aids the same care as your body – a smooth transition to prevent damage and ensure optimum performance. Clean the device with a mild cloth to eliminate sweat and dirt, then use a puffer to get rid of any moisture, and finally, make sure to store it correctly. No water or other cleaners should be used, and you should keep them away from heat or sunlight.

Advantages of Hearing Aids During Exercise

You can wear your hearing aids during a variety of physical activities like exercising at the gym, running outside, playing softball, or participating in other exercise routines. Along with being able to use them during these activities, your hearing aids are expected to improve your entire experience and contribute to your safety.

• Many sports necessitate communication between teammates. Attempting to catch a fly ball while three players are all looking up can result in a potential danger of injury if they do not communicate with each other. You want to be able to hear “I got it, I got it” from your teammate to prevent any collisions.
• Sometimes background noise can be an issue when using hearing aids. In a noisy gym setting, you will need to hear instructions clearly. Ask a hearing specialist for a custom setting to reduce background noise.

Using your hearing aids during walks or runs can help you remain alert to important sounds in your surroundings, such as the sirens of emergency vehicles or car horns.

• Listening to your favorite tunes can be enjoyable and help your workout period pass more quickly.
  Configure your hearing aids to connect via Bluetooth and enjoy listening to music while you run or exercise.
