1. Don’t Let Hearing Loss Spoil Your Vacation!
Proper planning will prevent hearing loss
from interfering with your vacation plans.
Just make sure your pre-vacation “to do” list
includes these critical steps designed to
ensure your vacation lives up to what you
dream it should be.
1. Schedule an appointment with your audiologist or hearing
aid specialist to have your hearing aids cleaned and
checked before you leave for vacation. If you have a
spare pair of hearing aids, make sure those are in working
order as well…and remember to pack them.
2. Stock up on batteries. Take enough with to cover the
length of your vacation, as well as an additional
supply…just in case you get stranded.
3. Try to avoid taking out your hearing aids in your car or on
an airplane, but if you must do so, take the time to put
them away. Do not let them lay in your lap or on your lap
tray, otherwise they may be lost when you get out of the
car or de-board the plane.
4. When staying overnight in a hotel, ask the front desk staff
if they have a hotel kit for the hearing impaired. These
kits typically include things like a visual smoke detector, a
door knock signaler, phone alert, strap-on phone
2. amplifier, tactile vibrator alarm clock, teletext (TTY) and a
closed caption converter.
Living well with hearing loss is very doable…it just takes a little
planning!
