Daily Routine for Hearing Aid Users

Wearing hearing aids all day

Wearing hearing aids continuously for 24 hours is not practical, as they should be removed during activities such as showering and sleeping to prevent moisture damage and to allow the ears to rest. Additionally, most rechargeable hearing aids require regular charging, typically overnight, to maintain optimal functionality. Modern hearing aids are designed for comfort during extended wear, featuring lightweight materials and adjustable settings. Proper care, including regular charging and maintenance, ensures reliable performance throughout the day.

Can you sleep with hearing aids in

Yes. However, it is best to remove your hearing aids at night in order to let your ears rest and allow your hearing aids recharge. In order to prolong the battery life of your device, make sure to store them in their designated case on your bedside table.

Hearing aid fun facts

Hearing aids are remarkable little machines that have had an enormous impact on the lives of thousands of Australians. These devices have the power to transform physical and mental health in a huge range of ways. Of course hearing aids provide the power to enjoy the lyrics of a favourite song or memorable lines from TV shows and movies, as well as listen to the first words of a child or grandchild or chat freely with friends and family. But they also battle the isolating effects of hearing loss, bringing those dealing with issues back into the fold.

Traveling with Hearing Aids

Traveling with hearing aids

A trip overseas is a time for fun, festivities and experiencing the unfamiliar. It’s a time to uncover unseen places, visit old friends or try new foods. Most of all an international holiday should be a time to relax.

For people with a hearing loss, however, international travel can create feelings of both excitement and trepidation. Travelling with your hearing aids and a hearing loss doesn't have to be scary. Prepare for your trip in advance and you shouldn't have any issues.

Travelling by air can be an exciting experience—but if you rely on hearing aids, you might have some concerns. Can you fly with hearing aids without worry? The reassuring answer is yes. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything from packing your devices to navigating airport security and managing in-flight challenges.

Whether you’re wondering is it ok to wear hearing aids when flying or need tips on flying with hearing aid batteries, we’re here to help.

Hearing Aids and Sport

Exercising with hearing aids

Having hearing aids doesn’t mean you can’t exercise. Modern hearing aids are designed to suit your life, including sport and exercise too. Certain hearing aid styles, like completely in the ear models, can be more resistant to sweat as they sit inside the ear canal.

There are also hearing aid accessories to help your hearing aids when playing sports or exercising.  

It’s important to remember that these devices, while very strong and robust, do need some simple care to ensure their longevity.

Swimming with hearing aids

Hearing aids are essential devices that help millions of people around the world reconnect with the sounds of life. However, if you enjoy swimming or spend a lot of time near water, you may wonder: can you swim with hearing aids?

The short answer is no, but there are important details and practical solutions to ensure your hearing aids stay safe while you enjoy aquatic activities.

Watching sports with hearing aids

Whether it’s the roar of the crowd, the referee’s whistle, or the commentary that brings the game to life, hearing every detail is part of the thrill. But if your current hearing aids can’t keep up with the action, it’s time to switch to Amplifon’s new ampli-mini AI —the hearing aid designed for crystal-clear sound, all-day battery life, and seamless adaptability.

Hearing aids and Music

Tips to enjoy music with hearing aids

It is possible for people with a hearing impairment to still enjoy music. The only difference is that they play music through their hearing aids. Those suffering from severe hearing loss may notice that rhythms sound less vibrant or that it is more difficult to distinguish instruments or understand song lyrics. In this case, hearing aids, often equipped with Bluetooth capabilities, can help by picking up sounds that might otherwise go unnoticed, such as high-frequency notes in classical music.

Podcasts straight to hearing aids

Podcasts are quickly becoming part of daily life. With billions of episodes online, you can find a podcast on any imaginable interest, hobby or genre – from true crime epics to scientific minutiae or TED talks that can change your worldview. Now you can listen to podcasts by streaming them direct to your hearing aid.
