Patients often ask, “Can I sleep in my hearing aids?” Our answer is yes, however, there are a few things to consider!
If you have rechargeable hearing aids, you will need to find another charging time throughout the day. Sleeping in them means they won’t be able to charge overnight.
If your hearing aids are battery operated, you might need to change the batteries more often. Hearing aid batteries may wear out faster if they are worn all night.
Patients with severe to profound hearing loss often like wearing hearing aids at night to help with sound awareness. This helps them hear important sounds to keep them safe.
Sleeping with your hearing aids is okay but be sure to talk to your audiologist! They can help you decide what is best for you.
