Amp Up Your Workouts with Hearing Aids

Developing a regular fitness routine does wonders for our health, but it can be difficult to stay inspired before and during the workout.

Let’s face it, the act of working out itself is usually not pleasant. We do it mostly for the results and future health benefits, but it can be tough to push through the stress and pain of the actual exercises.

That’s why the majority of people find ways to take their minds off the actual work, usually by listening to music.

Music not only delivers a diversion but also brings about the motivation and stimulation needed to maximize effort. You may not feel like hitting the gym today, but put on your best music and suddenly you’re charged and ready to go.

This is where hearing aids can be useful for those with hearing loss.

With compatible hearing aids, you can stream your favorite music straight from your music player or smartphone to your hearing aids—without any cables getting in the way.

As an alternative, if you’re in the learning frame of mind, you can also stream your favorite podcasts or internet courses, strengthening both your mental and physical health at the same time.

Have a fitness partner instead?

The latest hearing aid models, equipped with directional microphones, focus on and accentuate speech while suppressing background noise, making it easier to maintain a conversation with your partner in a busy gym.

For all these reasons hearing aids are worthwhile gym equipment, but you may be wary of possible damage to the device from sweat and moisture.

While most hearing aid models are resistant against dirt and moisture to some extent, there are a number of accessories you can use to protect your hearing aids at the gym.

Think of investing in:

• Hearing aid sweatbands – these absorbent sleeves fit over your hearing aids, defending them from sweat and debris.
• Hearing aid clips – helps to avoid damage or loss if your hearing aids become inadvertently dislodged from your ears.
• Batteries – maintaining an extra pair on hand assures you won’t run out of power mid-workout.
• Cleaning kits – helps clean and sanitize your hearing aids post-workout.
• Hearing aid dehumidifier – well worth investing in for three reasons: dehumidifiers 1) eliminate moisture, 2) sanitize using UV light, and 3) provide a safe place for overnight storage.

With a little care and planning, you can securely enjoy all the advantages of hearing aids at the gym.
