You have a jam-packed summer schedule planned. You’ll undoubtedly visit the beach and perhaps go swimming. Then it’s time to fire up the grill after taking in some live entertainment and getting lots of exercise by running or even playing tennis. You’ll have a hectic schedule! Therefore, it’s imperative that your hearing aids are set up.

All of these activities can present particular difficulties for your hearing aids, but there are several straightforward ways you can safeguard these tiny, practical devices and still have a good time this summer.

SUMMER HEARING AID CHALLENGES

When it comes to your hearing aids, every season will bring with it specific challenges. The biggest difficulties occur in the summer because of the climate and weather.

These summer-related challenges are listed below:

  • Dirt and debris: The summer months are busy for you. However, sand in your hearing aid, like that found on a beach, can be problematic.
  • Moisture: During the summer, moisture is almost always present, whether it comes from humidity, swimming, rain, or simple perspiration. That’s a problem because dampness can cause hearing aids a lot of problems.
  • Wind: Your hearing aids may be yanked and jerked by a strong enough wind. Additionally, the wind might get dust and other debris into your hearing aids if you’re in a very dry region. 

Since you spend more time outdoors in the summer, it goes without saying that these problems are more prone to occur. Additionally, when you spend so much time outside, you are more likely to encounter a sudden rainstorm or a strong wind.

KEEPING YOUR HEARING AIDS WORKING AT THEIR BEST THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER

Your hearing aids are designed to improve your quality of life and enable you to accomplish more. The majority of people prefer to use their hearing aids as frequently as possible throughout the summer. You can achieve that by taking additional actions to take care of your hearing aids.

TAKE ACTION TO MAINTAIN YOUR HEARING AIDS DRY

We’ve discovered that dampness is a hearing aid’s worst enemy (the more state-of-the-art the electronics, the worse water is). There are a few techniques you can use to prevent moisture:

  • Dry your ears completely. Make sure your hearing aids aren’t unintentionally getting moist from your ears.
  • Wear a sweatband if you’re doing something that makes you perspire. By doing so you can keep moisture out of your ears (and far from your hearing aids).
  • Have a microfiber towel handy. This is a method you can use to routinely dry your hearing aids. By doing so, you can avoid the accumulation of moisture.
  • Open the battery door of your hearing aids to let them air dry while you sleep. This will lessen the risk of battery corrosion-related damage.
  • Wearing your hearing aids in the water is not advisable. Beach day? Nice! Before entering the water, remember to remove your hearing aids. Of course, the vast majority of people already do this. The true issue is any residual moisture in your ears after you get out of the water. It’s a good idea to wear earplugs or a swim cap while swimming. This can keep your ears dry, which will keep your hearing aids working well.

CLEAN YOUR HEARING AIDS REGULARLY

Heat and wetness both accelerate bacterial growth. Therefore, you should also take a few actions to guarantee that your hearing aids stay clean during the summer. You may carry out the following:

  • Sanitize your hearing aids on a regular basis. Specifically designed antibacterial and disinfecting wipes can be used for this.
  • Keep an eye for debris accumulation over time. As you clean your hearing aids, you might take a moment to clear away any dust. It’s generally a good idea to eventually get your hearing aids cleaned by a specialist.
  • Keep your hearing aids in a cool and dry place. This is due to the fact that hearing aids generally dislike exposure to heat and sunshine. So, if it’s a hot summer day, don’t leave them on your dashboard. As an alternative, store your hearing aids in a cool, dry place while not in use.
