Hearing aids should not be a detriment to your life or your lifestyle. Hearing issues shouldn’t keep you back from enjoying your favorite activities. Generally, it’s okay to use hearing aids while working out or participating in activities that elevate the heart rate.

You just need to be certain you have the necessary information about how to correctly maintain and care for your hearing aids. By ensuring you take necessary measures to reduce moisture, prevent injury, and keep a regular post-exercise routine, you can participate in a variety of physical activities without any problems.

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

Prevent Damage from Moisture: Think about investing in a protective cover or utilizing a sweat-absorbing accessory.

Obtain a Comfortable Fit: A well-fitting hearing aid is critical since your body is in motion throughout your workout. Hearing aids need to fit comfortably so they can’t shift during your workout.

Keep Them Dry and Clean After Exercising: Just like you would perform a cooldown after your exercise, your hearing aids require a similar regimen for correct upkeep. Clean the device with a gentle cloth to remove sweat and dirt, then use a puffer to get rid of any moisture, and lastly, make certain to store it correctly. Avoid exposing them to water, cleaning products, heat, or direct sunlight.

Advantages of Hearing Aids During Exercise

You can use your hearing aids during various physical activities such as working out at the gym, running outdoors, 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 with three players looking up can be a possible injury situation without communicating with each other. You want to be able to hear “I got it, I got it” from your teammate to prevent any collisions.
• In some cases background noise can be a problem when wearing hearing aids. You may want to be able to hear the instructions in a loud gym setting. Consult an audiologist to create an individualized setting that decreases background noise.

Using your hearing aids while running or walking can help you remain alert to essential sounds in your surroundings, including the sirens of emergency vehicles or car horns.

• Listening to music you love can be pleasurable and make your exercise session go by faster.
  Configure your hearing aids to stream via Bluetooth and enjoy listening to music while you run or exercise.
