Hearing aids should not be a detriment to your life or your lifestyle. Hearing problems shouldn’t hold you back from taking pleasure in your favorite activities. Normally, it’s fine for most people to wear hearing aids even while exercising or engaging in other activities that get the heart pumping.

You simply need to be certain you have the necessary information about how to correctly maintain and care for your hearing aids. As long as you take appropriate precautions to decrease moisture, prevent loss, and have a consistent post-workout plan, you should be able to appreciate all kinds of exercise and play.

Keep Hearing Aids Safe And Dry: Use clips affixed to clothing, retainers, or sports headbands to keep your hearing aids in place. This will supply extra protection and reduce the risk of accidents or damage.

Protect From Moisture: Purchase a cover to soak up perspiration and/or use a sweatband.

Ensure Proper Fit: This is essential as your body is constantly moving while you work out. Hearing aids should fit comfortably so they can’t shift during your workout.

Keep Them Dry and Clean After Exercising: Just like you would do a cooldown after your workout, your hearing aids require a similar routine for correct maintenance. Wipe down with a soft cloth to remove perspiration and debris, 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 wear your hearing aids during various physical activities like working out at the gym, running outside, playing softball, or engaging in other exercise regimens. Along with being able to wear them during these activities, your hearing aids are expected to enhance your entire experience and contribute to your safety.

• Most sports demand teamwork and communication among players. Attempting to catch a fly ball with three players looking up can be a potential injury situation without talking to each other. You want to be able to hear your teammate clearly say “Got it” to prevent accidents.
• On occasion, ambient sounds can hinder the effectiveness of 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 decrease 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 beeping 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.
