Workouts like jogging along the McQueens Island Trail or taking a Vinyasa class at New Yoga Now will not only keep you healthy, but they’re also a lot of fun. One way you can add even more fun to your workouts is to wear your hearing aids.
Three Perks Of Working Out With Hearing Aids
Pop your hearing aids in to enjoy these perks during your next workout:
- Better background awareness. Not only will hearing aids amplify the pleasant sounds of a bubbling brook or birds tweeting on your trail run, but they can also bring safety sounds back to life.
- Bluetooth® connection. Your hearing aids can connect to your phone via Bluetooth. That means that you can stream music, workout videos, podcasts and audiobooks right to your ears for a seamless experience.
- Hearing the instructor. Workout classes move pretty fast. When your instructor is switching from a lunge to a squat to a downward dog, your hearing aids will help you keep up with the changing moves.
Learning how to care for your hearing aids before, during and after your workout will ensure that they continue to provide the best sound.
Hearing Aid Care Tips
Keep the following tips in mind to protect your hearing aids while maintaining your exercise routine:
- Attach your hearing aids to your shirt with a specialty cord or clip to prevent them from falling out during your workout
- Wear a wide headband over your ears to keep your hearing aids dry and secure
- Remove and clean your hearing aids after every workout
- Place your devices in a hearing aid dehumidifier at night to remove built-up moisture from sweat or Georgia humidity
- Remove your hearing aids and place them in a secure location if you’re going to swim
Hearing aids are remarkable tools that could benefit as many as 28.8 million U.S. adults.[1] Caring for your devices before, during and after your workout will keep them safe and functioning well.
