Can We Wear Hearing Aids When We Do Sport?

Can we wear hearing aids during exercise? I believe this is a concern for many hearing aid users. In fact, everyone can wear hearing aids for exercise, depending on the occasion and intensity of the exercise.

If it is indoor sports, there will be no violent impact during exercise. It is possible to wear a hearing aid, but it needs to be reinforced and fixed to avoid falling and causing damage. Some users have reported that wearing a hearing aid is not a problem even when standing upside down, but this is also related to everyone's ear shape and does not need to be completely imitated.

BTE earphone users suggest using a hearing aid anti loss lanyard to secure the hearing aid. If playing basketball or football, which may involve intense collisions and intense confrontations, it is not recommended to wear hearing aids, as they may be knocked off and cause damage to the hearing aids. Compared to large-scale activities, hearing aids are actually more afraid of external impacts.

Sweating during exercise is difficult to avoid, especially after aerobic exercise, the feeling of sweating profusely gives people a sense of achievement. But it is best to wear a sports headband. When sweating heavily, you can wipe it with a dry tissue or clean cloth to prevent sweat from flowing into the inside of the hearing aid.

Nowadays, hearing aids have reached the dustproof and waterproof level of IP68, so a small amount of sweat during short periods of exercise will not immediately cause damage to the hearing aids, so there is no need to worry too much. If there are individual hearing aid users who sweat heavily, it is recommended to dry and maintain the hearing aid in a timely manner after exercise.

How to dry and maintain hearing aids after exercise?

1. Ordinary drying tank

After exercising, open the battery compartment of the hearing aid and remove the battery. Place it in a drying box and close the lid. Pay attention to the changes in the discolored silicone particles in the drying cake, and if discolored, replace the drying cake in a timely manner.

2. Electronic dryer

After using the hearing aid, place it in an electronic dryer and plug it in. The drying time should be 3-6 hours, and do not let it go for too long.

3. Regularly go to the hearing center for maintenance

If you exercise frequently, it is recommended to go to a hearing center or store for vacuum dehumidification maintenance once a week, and have the fitter check if the hearing aid is damaged.
