For people with hearing aids, going outside and doing sports can be a real challenge. In fact, doing sports isn\u2019t always a good match with wearing hearing aids because of sweat, dust, impact, water, cold and so on. Here are some tips to make it easier to use them\u00a0while doing sports.<\/p>\n
Sweating and moisture are inevitable in most sports, making it hard to keep hearing aids dry. Moisture is one of the main reasons they\u00a0can malfunction. Moisture and sweat from the ear build up in the hearing aid and affect its battery life, decrease its sensitivity and cause other problems.<\/p>\n
Contact sports can potentially mean hits to your hearing aids or to your ears, which can lead to injury. A soft earpiece can reduce the risk of injury. Hearing aids can also fall out and be lost or damaged when you\u00a0play sports. It is recommended to wear a headband to keep them from falling out, or use a product like Oto Clip that attaches them\u00a0securely to your clothing.<\/p>\n
After a day at the beach or hiking, dust and dirt may have gotten into your hearing aids. To keep them\u00a0working properly, they need to be cleaned regularly. Clean your hearing aids and earpieces with a soft, dry cloth. Make sure your hands are clean and dry before handling them. Only use products that have been recommended by your audioprosthetist.<\/p>\n
Several types of hearing aids are now available that use advanced technology to protect against water, impact, dust, moisture and sweat. You no longer have to take them off\u00a0to keep them from\u00a0getting damaged or to be sure they\u2019ll still work after your activity.<\/p>\n
Some hearing aids have various features that make them adaptable to different conditions. For example, there is a function for wind protection that makes it easier to hear conversations on a golf course.<\/p>\n
If you would like to learn more about hearing aids that match your active lifestyle, consult an audioprosthetist and make an appointment<\/a> today. A professional will be able to advise you on the technology available and the features that will be useful for your needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For people with hearing aids, going outside and doing sports can be a real challenge.
