Vero Beach can get quite hot and humid in the summertime. If you are a hearing aid<\/a> user, you may be wondering if hot temperatures can damage your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warm weather can affect your hearing aids in a variety of different ways. For starters, your body temperatures start to rise when you are in warmer temperatures. This is especially true if you\u2019re doing something more physical, like playing volleyball or taking a walk at Riverside Park. This can lead to increased sweating and moisture, which, if left to build up, can damage the electrical components of your hearing aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, things like sunscreen, insect repellant or tanning lotions can get onto your device and cause problems as well, including clogging the microphone and affecting sound quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another potential for your hearing aids is exposure to direct sunlight. While this won\u2019t happen when you\u2019re wearing them, placing them in direct sunlight while you\u2019re not wearing them can leave them vulnerable and potentially melt some of the internal components of your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several extra steps you can take to keep your hearing aids safe when it\u2019s hot outside, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n While your hearing aids need a little extra care in the hotter months, if you\u2019re one of the 28.8 million adults in the United States who could benefit from hearing aids<\/a>, there\u2019s no reason to wait until the temperatures are cooler to schedule an appointment with an audiologist to discuss your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They will examine your ears and administer a hearing test to determine what sounds you struggle with and what your individual needs are and work with you to find a pair of hearing aids that best fits you and your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To speak with a specialist or to schedule an appointment, call Aaron's Hearing Aid & Audiology Center<\/span> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Warm Weather Can Affect Your Hearing Aids <\/h2>\n\n\n
