Hearing aids should not negatively affect your life or the way you live. You shouldn’t have to quit engaging in the things you enjoy simply because you have a hearing issue. In general, it’s okay to wear hearing aids while exercising or participating in activities that increase the heart rate.

Just be certain you are educated about the correct upkeep and care for your hearing devices. Provided you take proper precautions to reduce moisture, prevent loss, and have a regular post-workout plan, you should be able to appreciate all types of exercise and play.

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

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

Ensure Proper Fit: This is essential as your body is continuously moving while you exercise. Hearing aids need to fit snugly to prevent movement while you exercise.

Keep Them Dry and Clean After Exercising: Just as you would do a cooldown after your workout, your hearing aids need a similar regimen for correct upkeep. Wipe down with a soft cloth to eliminate perspiration and debris, use a puffer to get rid of any moisture, and store them correctly. No water or other cleaners should be utilized, and you should keep them away from heat or sunlight.

Advantages of Using Hearing Aids While Exercising

You can use your hearing aids during a variety of physical activities like exercising at the gym, running outside, playing softball, or participating in other exercise regimens. In addition to being able to use them during these activities, your hearing aids are expected to enhance your entire experience and contribute to your safety.

• The majority of sports necessitate teamwork and communication among players. Attempting to catch a fly ball with three players looking up can be a potential injury scenario without talking to each other. You need to be able to hear “I got it, I got it” from your teammate to avoid any collisions.
• Occasionally, environmental sounds can hamper the performance of hearing aids. You may want to be able to hear the guidelines in a noisy gym setting. Ask a hearing specialist for a custom setting to reduce background noise.

Using your hearing aids while taking a walk or jogging, for instance, keeps you aware of
important sounds around you, like the sirens of emergency vehicles or beeping horns.

• Listening to your favorite music can be satisfying and help your workout period pass more quickly.
  Set up your hearing aids with Bluetooth and “jam out” as you run or pump iron.
