Best Hearing Aids for Active Lifestyles

Burgeoning technology makes it possible for even the most active people with hearing loss to continue to pursue their passions. If you are coping with hearing loss, but love to swim, run, hike, cycle, rock climb, or play sports outdoors, there are many hearing aid options for people who have active lifestyles.

Issues You May Have with Your Hearing Aids

Outdoor activities can present many issues for the hearing aid wearer.

Wind Issues

Runners, walkers, and cyclists can find themselves struggling with wind in their hearing aids, causing uncomfortable noise.

Moisture Problems

Another worry for athletic hearing aid wearers is that the device may be damaged by unexpected rain or by perspiration.

Adjustment Difficulty

While on the go, it can be difficult to make on-the-fly adjustments to hearing aids in order to adapt to changing environments.
