Why Hearing Loss Can Worsen in Hot Humid Weather
Does the Heat Affect Your Hearing?
Australian summers bring heat and humidity that can affect both your ears and your hearing devices. Sweat and moisture can build up in the ear canal, causing temporary blockage or discomfort, and hearing aids may struggle if moisture reaches internal components. High humidity also increases the risk of ear infections, especially for swimmers. If you notice changes in your hearing, consider a professional check. To stay protected, keep ears dry after swimming, use a dry box for hearing aids, stay hydrated, and avoid inserting objects into your ears.
