Everyone wants to age well — not just for the purpose of living longer, but also to maintain the highest quality of life at every stage. The perception of aging is shifting as 50 is the new 40, 40s are the new 30s, and aging no longer signals a slowdown of life, but an opportunity to be actively engaged with family, friends, and your community. It’s why millions of Life Time members work out every day, eat a balanced diet, maintain an active social life, and lean into longevity technology.
One of the most exciting aspects of longevity tech is wearable tech like fitness trackers, smart footwear, and sensor-embedded smart fabrics — the pieces that give us insight into how we feel physically and emotionally. Additionally, there is tech that enables us to experience the world clearly.
With so many new tech tools available to help us age well and live our best lives, there’s no reason not to try something new like today’s hearing aids with AI and Bluetooth® technology to help you better communicate, listen to music, and increase your safety during your workout.
Hearing Aids: Not the Bulky Devices of Years Past
Many people think that wearing hearing aids makes a person look old, but the truth is that untreated hearing loss is what ages people. Untreated hearing loss can have a domino effect when it comes to our overall physical, mental, social, and emotional health.
Hearing loss is so gradual that you might not even realize it. A lack of treatment for hearing loss has been shown to result in a decline in physical activity[1] and may lead to a reduction in cognitive abilities, which can lead to memory loss, dementia,[2] and Alzheimer’s.
The good news is that most hearing loss is treatable and modern hearing aids are so cosmetically discreet that they are barely noticeable. HearingLife offers a variety of hearing aids that utilize AI technology that connects seamlessly, and that consider head and body movement, conversation activity, and acoustic environment to adjust the hearing aid specifically for the user. Many models use tiny computer chips to provide a true-to-life listening experience, distinguishing between speech and background noise and adjusting volume levels in real time. Hearing aids also offer Bluetooth technology, enabling you to connect wirelessly to devices around your home and community.
The Best Hearing Aids for Active Lifestyles
Assessing your hearing tech needs is as easy as walking into a local HearingLife location for a complimentary hearing screening. A HearingLife hearing care professional — think of them as your hearing “coach” — will review your results and recommend the best approach for your lifestyle and hearing needs.
For an active lifestyle, your hearing “coach” will work with you to choose an option that is comfortable and secure for intense workouts, and has rechargeable batteries to last you all day long. They will have you demo models that provide streaming technology, so you can listen to your playlist and get into the zone, and ones that are easy to adjust for volume and background noise as you go from the fitness floor and playing courts to exercise classes and chats at the cafe. Imagine a workout where you can lower background noise and get locked into your bench presses or where you can hear the instructors’ cues in class.
The hearing care professional will also talk with you about device care both in and out of the gym. Many hearing aids are designed to repel moisture, which helps for those workout days when you perspire a bit more.
