Hearing aids should not be a detriment to your life or your lifestyle. You shouldn’t have to quit doing the things you love simply because you have a hearing issue. Generally, it’s alright to use hearing aids while working out or engaging in activities that elevate the heart rate.

Just be certain you are educated about the proper upkeep and care for your hearing aid. By ensuring you take essential steps to lessen moisture, prevent injury, and maintain a regular post-exercise routine, you can participate in a variety of physical activities without any problems.

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

Protect Against Moisture: Buy a cover to absorb perspiration and/or use a sweatband.

Ensure Correct Fit: This is important as your body is continuously moving while you work out. Hearing aids need to fit securely to avoid movement while you exercise.

Maintain Your Hearing Aids After a Workout: After working out, it’s important to give your hearing aids the same care as your body – a smooth transition to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance. Clean the device with a gentle cloth to remove sweat and dirt, then use a puffer to get rid of any moisture, and lastly, make certain to store it correctly. Stay away from exposing them to water, cleaning products, heat, or direct sunlight.

Advantages of Wearing Hearing Aids While Working Out

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

• Many sports necessitate communication between teammates. Trying to catch a fly ball while three players are all looking up can lead to a potential danger of injury if they don’t communicate with one another. You want to be able to hear “I got it, I got it” from your teammate to prevent any collisions.
• Occasionally, environmental sounds can interfere with the effectiveness of hearing aids. You may want to be able to hear the instructions in a noisy gym setting. Ask a hearing specialist for a custom setting to reduce background noise.

Wearing your hearing aids while walking or jogging, for instance, keeps you aware of
essential sounds around you, like the sirens of emergency vehicles or honking 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.
