Hearing aids should not negatively impact your life or the way you live. Hearing issues shouldn’t hold you back from enjoying your favorite activities. Typically, it’s fine for most people to wear hearing aids even while working out or engaging in other activities that get the heart pumping.

You simply need to be certain you have the necessary information about how to properly 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 various physical activities without any issues.

Safeguard your hearing aids: Utilize clips on your clothing, retainers, or sports headbands to secure them and keep them dry. This will help prevent them from falling or becoming damaged.

Protect Against Moisture: Purchase a cover to soak up sweat and/or use a sweatband.

Obtain a Comfortable Fit: A well-fitting device is crucial since your body is in motion all throughout your workout. Hearing aids should fit snugly to prevent shifting while you exercise.

Keep Them Clean And Dry After Exercising: Just as you would perform a cooldown after your workout, your hearing aids need a similar regimen for correct maintenance. Clean down with a soft cloth to eliminate perspiration and dirt, use a puffer to remove any moisture, and store them properly. No water or other cleaners should be utilized, 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 such as working out at the gym, running outside, playing softball, or participating in other exercise routines. In addition to being able to wear them during these activities, your hearing aids are expected to improve your overall experience and contribute to your safety.

• Most sports necessitate teamwork and communication between players. Attempting to catch a fly ball with three players looking up can be a possible injury scenario without talking to each other. You need to be able to hear “I got it, I got it” from your teammate to avoid any collisions.
• Occasionally, environmental sounds can interfere with the performance of hearing aids. You might want to be able to hear the instructions in a noisy gym setting. Ask a hearing specialist for a custom setting to decrease background noise.

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

• Listening to your favorite music can be enjoyable and help your workout time pass more quickly.
  Set up your hearing aids with Bluetooth and “rock out” as you run or lift weights.
