Pearson using an advanced hearing aid

Hearing aids shouldn’t adversely affect your life or the way you live. Hearing issues shouldn’t keep you back from enjoying your favorite activities. Typically, it’s fine for most individuals to wear hearing aids even while exercising or engaging in other activities that get the heart pumping.

You simply need to make sure you have the required information about how to correctly maintain and care for your hearing aids. By ensuring you take essential measures to reduce moisture, avoid injury, and maintain a regular post-exercise routine, you can take part in a variety of physical activities without any problems.

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

Prevent Damage from Moisture: Think about investing in a protective cover or making use of 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 should fit snugly so they can’t shift during your workout.

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

Positive Aspects of Using Hearing Aids While Exercising

You can wear your hearing aids during a variety of physical activities like working out at the gym, running outside, playing softball, or engaging in other exercise regimens. In addition to 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 require communication between teammates. Trying to catch a fly ball while three players are all looking up can result in a potential danger of injury if they don’t communicate with each other. You need to be able to hear “I got it, I got it” from your teammate to prevent any collisions.
  • Sometimes background noise can be an issue when using hearing aids. In a noisy gym setting, you will need to hear instructions accurately. Consult an audiologist to create a personalized setting that decreases background noise.
  • Using your hearing aids during walks or runs can help you stay alert to important sounds in your surroundings, such as the sirens of emergency vehicles or car horns.

  • Listening to music you love can be pleasurable and make your exercise session go by faster.
    Set up your hearing aids with Bluetooth and “jam out” as you run or lift weights.
