Hearing aids shouldn’t negatively affect your life or the way you live. You shouldn’t have to stop doing the things you enjoy just because you have a hearing issue. Generally, it’s okay to use hearing aids while exercising or participating in activities that elevate the heart rate.

You simply need to be certain you have the necessary information about how to correctly maintain and care for your hearing aids. By ensuring you take necessary steps to reduce moisture, avoid injury, and keep a regular post-exercise regimen, you can participate in various physical activities without any problems.

Keep Hearing Aids Secure And Dry: Make use of clips attached to clothing, retainers, or sports headbands to keep your hearing aids in position. This will provide added protection and decrease the danger of accidents or damage.

Protect Against Moisture: Buy 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 all throughout your workout. Hearing aids should fit securely to avoid movement while you work out.

Caring For Your Hearing Aids Post-Workout: After working out, it’s important to give your hearing aids the same attention as your body – a gentle transition to avoid damage and ensure optimal performance. Clean the device with a mild cloth to eliminate sweat and dirt, then use a puffer to get rid of any moisture, and lastly, make sure to store it correctly. Avoid exposing them to water, cleaning products, heat, or direct sunlight.

Positive Aspects of Wearing Hearing Aids While Exercising

Not only are you able to wear your hearing aids while at the gym, jogging outdoors, playing
sports, or taking part in any other athletic activity, they are likely to help improve
your fun and keep you safer.

• Many sports require communication between teammates. Trying to catch a fly ball while three players are all looking up can lead to a potential risk of injury if they do not communicate with each other. You want to be able to hear your teammate clearly say “Got it” to avoid accidents.
• In some cases background noise can be a problem when wearing hearing aids. In a noisy gym setting, you will need to hear instructions clearly. Consult an audiologist to create a personalized setting that minimizes background noise.

Using your hearing aids while running or walking can help you remain perceptive to essential sounds in your surroundings, such as the sirens of emergency vehicles or car horns.

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