Headphones and heat in summer

Headphones at the beach and pool
Hearing aids are a device that helps us hear better. Therefore, they have to come with us everywhere, and the beach and the pool are no exception. However, it is worth taking into account a series of tips in these cases:
- Earphones away from the sand. Therefore, when you go to bathe, do not leave the hearing aid on the towel. Store it in its case or in a closed bag to avoid contact with sand, which may alter its normal functioning.
- No sunscreen with headphones on. Take them off first. And then, once you’ve put cream on your ears, clean and dry your hands before putting your headphones back on.
- Nothing without headphones. It doesn’t matter if it’s fresh or salt water. The headphones are not submersible and water is their main enemy. Therefore, if you are going swimming, put away your headphones until you go out and have dried your hands and ears well.
