Wearing hearing aids consistently is crucial for individuals with hearing loss, influencing daily communication and auditory health. This article explores whether wearing them all the time is beneficial. By examining both the advantages and considerations, Amplifon aims to clarify how continuous use can enhance quality of life and overall well-being.
Our experts use their experience and the latest technologies to understand your hearing issues and recommend the best solution tailored to your needs.
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.

Continuous wear may not be advisable in certain situations, particularly where exposure to excessive moisture is prevalent. For example, activities like swimming or showering can pose risks to the functionality of hearing aids, potentially leading to damage or malfunction. In such cases, it's recommended to remove hearing aids to prevent water ingress and ensure their longevity and effectiveness.
Similarly, wearing hearing aids during sleep may not be necessary for some individuals and could lead to discomfort or pressure sores on the ears. Therefore, it's generally recommended to remove hearing aids before sleeping to allow the ears to rest and to prevent any potential discomfort. This practice also helps in maintaining the hygiene and longevity of the hearing aids.
At Amplifon, you'll find hearing solutions that range from almost invisible styles that fit discreetly inside the ear, to those that sit snugly behind the ear. You can even select devices that connect wirelessly to your smartphone.
