When you’re looking for the right hearing aids, you want to make sure it fits well and performs highly in a variety of settings. Research has shown that many consumers also value sweat resistance as a quality they look for in their devices.
Is It Safe to Work Out With Hearing Aids?
One reason sweat resistance is likely so important to consumers is that users want to make sure moisture from working out won’t harm their hearing aids. Thankfully, modern hearing aids are more moisture-resistant than older models. As long as you maintain a proper cleaning routine and don’t completely submerge your device in water, it’s completely safe to work out with your hearing aids.
Not only is it safe, but there are numerous benefits as well.
Hearing Aids Make Communication Easier
One of the biggest benefits of hearing aids is that it makes it easier to communicate with others. When it comes to staying active, hearing aids make it easier to:
- Hear your fitness instructor during class at Woodinville Sports Club
- Strategize with your tennis partner
- Carry on a conversation with your walking buddy
Increases Safety
If you’re someone who likes to ride their bike or go for walks or jogs outside, hearing your best helps keep you safe. Whether it’s the sound of emergency vehicles or a car coming up beside you on the road, it’s essential for your safety and the safety of others to be able to pick up on those sounds as quickly as possible.
Stream Music Directly Into Your Hearing Aids
Many of us enjoy listening to our favorite music when whether we’re heading to the gym or staying active at home. If you have Bluetooth® enabled hearing aids, you can stream music directly into your device as opposed to using headphones or earbuds. This not only provides much better sound quality, but it avoids the hassle of having to switch out your hearing aids for headphones.
A Word of Caution on Loud Music
Make sure if you listen to music through your hearing aids that you keep the volume at a reasonable level. Music that’s too loud can damage your ears and lead to worsening hearing loss.
