Hearing aids should not be a hinderance to your life or your lifestyle. Hearing issues shouldn’t keep you back from enjoying your favorite activities. Normally, it’s fine for most individuals to use hearing aids even while working out or engaging in other activities that get the heart pumping.

Just be sure you are informed about the correct upkeep and care for your hearing aid. As long as you take proper precautions to minimize moisture, prevent loss, and have a regular post-workout routine, you should be able to appreciate all types of exercise and play.

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

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

Assure Proper Fit: This is important as your body is constantly moving while you exercise. Hearing aids should fit securely to avoid movement while you work out.

Keep Them Clean And Dry After Exercising: Just as you would do a cooldown after your exercise, your hearing aids need a similar regimen for proper upkeep. Clean down with a soft cloth to remove perspiration and dirt, use a puffer to remove any moisture, and store them correctly. Avoid exposing them to water, cleaning products, heat, or direct sunlight.

Benefits of Hearing Aids During Exercise

You can use your hearing aids during a variety of physical activities such as 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.

• Many sports necessitate communication between teammates. Trying to catch a fly ball while three players are all looking up can lead to a potential danger of injury if they do not communicate with one another. You want to be able to hear your teammate clearly say “Got it” to avoid accidents.
• Sometimes background noise can be a problem when using hearing aids. You might want to be able to hear the instructions in a loud gym setting. Ask a hearing specialist for a custom setting to reduce background noise.

Using your hearing aids while walking or jogging, for instance, will keep you aware of
essential sounds around you, like the sirens of emergency vehicles or honking horns.

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