Establishing a regular fitness routine does wonders for our health, but it can be difficult to stay inspired before and during the workout.
Let’s admit it, the act of working out itself is not always enjoyable. We do it mainly for the results and future health benefits, but it can be difficult to get through the stress and pain of the actual physical exercises.
That’s why most people look for ways to take their minds off the actual work, usually by listening to music.
Music not only delivers a diversion but also creates the motivation and stimulation needed to maximize effort. You might not feel like going to the gym today, but put on your best music and all of a sudden you’re energized and ready to go.
This is where hearing aids can be beneficial for those with hearing loss.
With compatible hearing aids, you can stream your favorite music directly from your music player or smartphone to your hearing aids—without any wires getting in the way.
As an alternative, if you’re in the learning state of mind, you can also stream your favorite podcasts or internet courses, enhancing both your mental and physical health simultaneously.
Have a fitness partner instead?
The latest hearing aid models, equipped with directional microphones, target and accentuate speech while suppressing background noise, making it easier to hold a discussion with your partner in a busy gym.
For all of these reasons hearing aids are essential gym equipment, but you might be worried about possible damage to the device from sweat and moisture.
While the majority of hearing aid models are resistant against dirt and moisture to some degree, there are a few accessories you can use to preserve your hearing aids at the gym.
Consider investing in:
- Hearing aid sweatbands – these absorbent sleeves fit over your hearing aids, securing them from sweat and grime.
- Hearing aid clips – helps to prevent damage or loss if your hearing aids become inadvertently dislodged from your ears.
- Batteries – retaining an extra pair on hand ensures you won’t run out of power mid-workout.
- Cleaning kits – helps clean and sanitize your hearing aids after your workout.
- Hearing aid dehumidifier – worth investing in for three reasons: dehumidifiers 1) remove moisture, 2) sanitize using UV light, and 3) provide a safe place for storage overnight.
With a little care and planning, you can securely enjoy all the advantages of hearing aids at the gym.
