I have two BTEs, but I hardly ever use them anymore. I have had ETD in both ears for several years due to allergies. It was like having a bad cold and everything sounded "muffled."

I got my allergies treated with shots, and my hearing has improved a lot. I still have a little tinnitus when the weather changes, but I feel pretty good otherwise.

I like to longboard, and sometimes I don't hear a car behind me. I am wondering if I should use my hearing aids when I am longboarding.

You probably shouldn't be longboarding on the street anyway but if you must then you should face the traffic instead of having it behind you.

I don't long board, but I ride a motorcycle with a full face helmet. I ride with my hearing aids on but turned down so that the wind noise isn't so loud but I can still hear what is going on around me. Hearing is important in that situation you need every edge you can get when you're on road and exposed. If your the one in a cage (car) you have less to worry about. On a longboard you're not going to be able to accelerate or stop that well so any little bit of warning you can get could save your life.
