One study published in the International Journal of Audiology <\/em>reports, <\/em>\u201cAge-related hearing loss is an increasingly important public health problem affecting approximately 40% of 55\u201374 year olds. The primary clinical management intervention for people with hearing loss is hearing aids, however, the majority (80%) of adults aged 55\u201374 years who would benefit from a hearing aid, do not use them.<\/a> Furthermore, many people given a hearing aid do not wear it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to get to the bottom of why you\u2019re not wearing your hearing aids<\/a>. Some people believe their active lifestyle could lead to their hearing aids being lost or damaged. However, there are ways to prevent this from occurring. In this post, we provide tips for using hearing aids with an active lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n

Invest in the Right Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n\n\n

For those who live an active lifestyle, it\u2019s important to communicate this fact with your audiologist. This way, they will be able to prescribe the right hearing aid for you<\/a>. For example, some hearing aid models have higher IP ratings that can withstand more exposure to dust and moisture than others. It is even rumored that there will be a waterproof hearing aid coming on the market soon.<\/p>\n\n\n

Purchase a Hearing Aid Cover<\/h2>\n\n\n

Hearing aid covers are sleeves you can put over your hearing aids to protect them. They come in a variety of materials, such as the same as what sweatbands are made out of, as well as water-resistant spandex. Though none of these covers are totally waterproof, they\u2019ll protect your hearing aids while you\u2019re out hiking at Blanchard Woods Parkin Evans while it\u2019s raining. They can also protect them from dirt if you work in an industry that causes you to get dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n

Buy a Hearing Aid Lanyard<\/h2>\n\n\n

If you do higher-impact activities like running and you\u2019re worried about your hearing aids falling out of your ears, you can also purchase a hearing aid lanyard. These are corded clips that attach your hearing aids to your clothing. This way, if they fall out, they\u2019ll still be attached to your person, so you don\u2019t have to worry about them getting lost or stepped on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
