Hearing aids shouldn’t adversely impact your life or the way you live. You shouldn’t have to stop doing the things you love just because you have a hearing issue. Normally, it’s fine for most individuals to wear hearing aids even while exercising or engaging in other activities that get the heart pumping.

Just be certain you are informed about the proper upkeep and care for your hearing devices. As long as you take proper preventative measures to minimize moisture, prevent loss, and have a regular post-workout routine, you should be able to enjoy all kinds of exercise and play.

Safeguard your hearing aids: Utilize clips on your clothing, retainers, or sports headbands to anchor them and keep them dry. This will provide added protection and decrease the danger of accidents or damage.

Prevent Damage from Moisture: Think about getting a protective cover or making use of a sweat-absorbing accessory.

Achieve a Comfortable Fit: A well-fitting hearing aid is critical since your body is in motion all throughout your workout. Hearing aids need to fit securely to avoid movement while you work out.

Caring For Your Hearing Aids Post-Workout: After working out, it’s essential to give your hearing aids the same care as your body – a gentle transition to prevent damage and ensure optimal functionality. Wipe down with a soft cloth to eliminate perspiration and debris, use a puffer to remove any moisture, and store them properly. Stay away from exposing them to water, cleaning products, heat, or direct sunlight.

Positive Aspects of Using Hearing Aids While Working Out

Not only are you able to use your hearing aids while at the gym, jogging outdoors, playing
softball, or participating in any other exercise-related activity, they are likely to help improve
your enjoyment and keep you safer.

• Lots of sports necessitate communication between teammates. Attempting to catch a fly ball with three players looking up can become a potential injury scenario without talking to each other. You want to be able to hear your teammate clearly say “Got it” to prevent accidents.
• On occasion, environmental sounds can hamper the performance of hearing aids. In a raucous gym setting, you will need to hear instructions clearly. Consult an audiologist to make a personalized setting that decreases ambient noise.

Wearing 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 beeping horns.

• Listening to music you love can be pleasurable and make your exercise session go by quicker.
  Configure your hearing aids to stream via Bluetooth and enjoy listening to music while you run or work out.
