Need some extra motivation to stick with your exercise routine? Research shows regular activity can help your auditory system stay strong, delaying age-related hearing loss.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part? You don\u2019t have to be a gym rat to reap the benefits. Even moderate-intensity activities like brisk walking or cycling can help preserve your hearing health by increasing blood flow to the ears, keeping the inner ear functioning optimally.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Research Doesn\u2019t Lie <\/h2>\n\n\n

Regularly breaking a sweat has its benefits. Studies reveal that people over 50 who are genetically disposed to hearing loss and complete 20\u201330 minutes of cardio five times a week<\/a> have a better chance of keeping their hearing system healthy than people who don\u2019t exercise as frequently.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, individuals over 50 who have moderate or high cardiovascular fitness levels maintain hearing sensitivity comparable to people in their 30s<\/a>, keeping age-related hearing loss at bay.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding Exercise to Your Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not getting the recommended 20\u201330 minutes of daily aerobic activity? No worries. It\u2019s easy to sneak exercise into your schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Pick types of cardio you enjoy\u2014<\/strong>if suffering through a step class is a slog, stop. Find activities you find fun and can commit to doing regularly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
