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

You simply need to make sure you have the necessary information about how to correctly maintain and care for your hearing aids. By ensuring you take essential measures to reduce moisture, prevent injury, and keep a regular post-exercise regimen, you can take part in various physical activities without any issues.

Protect your hearing aids: Utilize clips on your clothing, retainers, or sports headbands to anchor them and keep them dry. This will provide added protection and reduce the risk of accidents or damage.

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

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

Keep Them Clean And Dry After Exercising: Just like you would perform a cooldown after your workout, your hearing aids need a similar regimen for proper maintenance. Clean the device with a gentle cloth to eliminate sweat and dirt, then use a puffer to eliminate any moisture, and finally, make certain to store it correctly. No water or other cleaners should be used, and you should keep them out of heat or sunlight.

Positive Aspects of Using Hearing Aids While Exercising

You can wear your hearing aids during various physical activities like working out at the gym, running outdoors, playing softball, or participating in other exercise routines. Along with being able to wear them during these activities, your hearing aids are expected to improve your entire experience and contribute to your safety.

• • The majority of sports demand teamwork and communication between players. Attempting to catch a fly ball with three players looking up can become a potential injury situation without communicating with each other. You want to be able to hear your teammate clearly yell “Got it” to prevent accidents.
  • In some cases background noise can be a problem when wearing hearing aids. You might want to be able to hear the guidelines in a noisy gym setting. Ask a hearing specialist for a custom setting to reduce background noise.

Using your hearing aids while walking or jogging, for example, keeps you aware of
important sounds around you, like the sirens of emergency vehicles or honking horns.

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