Here are some tips to protect them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use sweat-resistant covers<\/strong>. Invest in silicone sweat-resistant covers specifically designed for hearing aids. These covers can help protect your devices from moisture and sweat during intense workouts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wear a sweatband<\/strong>. Consider wearing a headband or sweatband to absorb sweat during workouts. This can help minimize the likelihood of moisture reaching your hearing aids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Waterproof cases<\/strong>. Store your hearing aids in waterproof cases when not in use, especially during activities like swimming or intense workouts with a higher chance of moisture exposure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Secure your devices<\/strong>. Use a headband, lanyard, clip or adhesive tape to secure your devices to your clothes or person. This step is especially important during high-impact or bouncy exercises like running or HIIT workouts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean<\/strong> <strong>your devices<\/strong>. Regularly clean your hearing aids with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat, dirt and debris.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep devices away from equipment<\/strong>. For the most part, you should be able to wear your devices during non-water-based workouts. If you do remove your hearing aids, avoid placing them on exercise equipment where they could get crushed or damaged accidentally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>When To Consult a Hearing Aid Specialist<\/h2>\n<p>If your devices are damaged during a workout, <a href=\"https:\/\/hearingsystemsinc.com\/hearing-aids\/hearing-aid-service-repairs\/\">schedule an appointment with your hearing aid specialist for a repair<\/a>.
