For those who suffer from hearing loss and have hearing aids, traveling can be increasingly challenging. Here are some helpful tips to hopefully make your trip smoother and safer for your hearing.
Packing: Creating a checklist of everything needed for your hearing aids can be very beneficial. Some of the supplies you may need include batteries, cleaning tools, storage case, chargers, wax traps and wireless accessories.
Advocate: It can be a helpful reminder to leave your hearing aids on when going through airport security. TSA recommends that passengers inform security officers prior to the screening process regarding hearing loss.
Hearing Protection: Earplugs can be a saving grace when traveling. Loud noises caused by airplanes can cause hearing damage, especially during long flights. If you plan on participating in any loud activities such as concerts and sporting events, be sure to pack ear plugs to safeguard your hearing no matter where your travels take you.
