Hearing aids should not be a detriment to your life or your lifestyle. You shouldn’t have to stop engaging in the things you love just because you have a hearing problem. In general, it’s alright to use hearing aids while working out or engaging in activities that elevate the heart rate.

You simply need to be certain you have the required 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 routine, you can participate in a variety of physical activities without any problems.

Keep Hearing Aids Secure And Dry: Use clips attached to clothing, retainers, or sports headbands to keep your hearing aids in position. This will help prevent them from falling or becoming damaged.

Protect From Moisture: Purchase a cover to absorb sweat and/or use a sweatband.

Achieve a Comfortable Fit: A well-fitting hearing aid is critical because your body is in motion throughout your exercise routine. Hearing aids should fit snugly so they can’t move during your workout.

Keep Them Dry and Clean After Exercising: Just like you would perform a cooldown after your exercise, your hearing aids require a similar regimen for proper upkeep. Wipe down with a soft cloth to remove perspiration and debris, use a puffer to get rid of any moisture, and store them correctly. Avoid exposing them to water, cleaning products, heat, or direct sunlight.

Advantages of Hearing Aids During Workouts

You can wear your hearing aids during a variety of physical activities such as exercising at the gym, running outside, playing softball, or participating in other exercise routines. In addition to being able to wear them during these activities, your hearing aids are expected to improve your overall experience and contribute to your safety.

• Most sports demand teamwork and communication between players. Trying to catch a fly ball with three players looking up can be a possible injury situation without communicating with each other. You want to be able to hear your teammate clearly yell “Got it” to prevent accidents.
• Occasionally, ambient sounds can hinder the effectiveness of hearing aids. In a raucous gym setting, you will need to hear instructions clearly. Ask a hearing specialist for a custom setting to reduce background noise.

Wearing your hearing aids while taking a walk or jogging, for instance, keeps you aware of
essential 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 connect via Bluetooth and enjoy listening to music while you run or work out.
