Hearing aids shouldn’t be a detriment to your life or your lifestyle. You shouldn’t have to quit doing the things you enjoy just because you have a hearing issue. In general, it’s okay to wear hearing aids while working out or participating in activities that increase the heart rate.
You simply need to be certain you have the necessary information about how to properly 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 take part in a variety of physical activities without any issues.
Safeguard your hearing aids: Use clips on your clothing, retainers, or sports headbands to secure them and keep them dry. This will supply extra protection and decrease the danger of accidents or damage.
Prevent Damage from Dampness: Think about investing in a protective cover or making use of a sweat-absorbing accessory.
Ensure Proper Fit: This is important as your body is continuously moving while you work out. Hearing aids need to fit securely to prevent shifting while you exercise.
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. Wipe down with a soft cloth to eliminate sweat and dirt, use a puffer to remove any moisture, and store them correctly. No liquid or other cleaners should be utilized, and you should keep them out of heat or sunlight.
Benefits of Hearing Aids During Workouts
You can use your hearing aids during a variety of physical activities such as working out at the gym, running outside, playing recreational sports, or engaging in other exercise regimens. In addition to being able to use them during these activities, your hearing aids are expected to enhance your overall experience and contribute to your safety.
- Many sports necessitate communication between teammates. Trying to catch a fly ball with three players looking up can be a potential injury situation without communicating with each other. You want to be able to hear “I got it, I got it” from your teammate to prevent any collisions.
- In some cases background noise can be an issue when using hearing aids. In a raucous gym setting, you will need to hear instructions clearly. Ask a hearing specialist for a custom setting to decrease background noise.
- Listening to your favorite tunes can be satisfying and help your workout time pass more quickly.
Configure your hearing aids to stream via Bluetooth and enjoy listening to music while you run or work out.
Using your hearing aids during walks or runs can help you remain alert to essential sounds in your surroundings, such as the sirens of emergency vehicles or car horns.
