If people are watching at home they either use their hearing aid or they have the TV cranked up way to loud and are driving their friends and families bonkers.

I am wondering more about how people who wear hearnig aids deal with the loud volumes at that actual games. An NFL game can have 70,000 people screaming at the top of their lungs. This is a great deal of sound for a hearing aid to process. Do people turn their hearing aids down prior to entering the stadiums? Do you remove them in the parking lot?

If anyone reading this has experience with hearing aids at a sporting event, can you please give us an insight into your experience? Thanks!

Certainly it is not the perfect demographic to spot a hearing aid user but I have seen thousands of players and still none.

This speaks to the continued challenge of combining hearing aids and sports. It remains a difficult proposition but something should be done about it.

My gut is that people who need to use hearing aids are simply going without in sports and this is not good. Hearing is crucial to success in sports and in turn they are left at a disadvantage.

I look to Siemens or Phonak or another large brand to address this issue and create a sports friendly hearing aid soon!
