Modern hearing aids are built to withstand active lifestyles, with many models featuring IP68 ratings for water and dust protection. This means they can handle sweat, light rain, and dusty conditions during activities like tennis, golf, or hiking. Many devices include motion sensors that automatically adjust settings based on your activity level. For extra protection during intense physical activities, your audiologist can recommend specific models or accessories designed for sports and outdoor use.
