Traveling with hearing aids shouldn’t be difficult, no matter if you’re going on a weekend trip or planning for your next big vacation. You can plan ahead to ensure your trip and your hearing aids run smoothly. Next time you travel, take these things into account.
Make sure to prepare in advance
After packing all of your clothing and other essential items, make sure to pack your hearing aids carefully. These items should be included:
- Dryer and hearing aid case
- Additional batteries available for non-rechargeable hearing aids
- For lithium-ion rechargeable hearing aids, charger (and adapter if traveling abroad)
- Cleaning kit
- Wax guards and domes
- Instruction manual
Remember to include any accessories that you use every day.
What are your travel plans?
These other tips may be helpful depending on how you get there.
- Air: If you are not instructed by the airport staff to remove your hearing aids, then leave them in place. Many airports have loop systems which allow hearing impaired people to hear important announcements clearly. Sign up to receive text messages from your airline. This will notify you of delays or gate changes. To ensure your safety, you should always wear your hearing aids while onboard a plane.
- By car: Make sure you have your hearing aids with you at all times. To reduce wind noise and distract you, keeping your windows open can improve your hearing. Keep distractions to a minimum in your car. This means no loud music and no passengers. This will allow you to concentrate and safely arrive at your destination.
- Public transportation: Another option for hearing impaired users is public transport. Plan ahead to make your trip easier, whether you are taking the bus, train, or subway. You can purchase tickets online and plan your route to make your trip more enjoyable.
Which place are you going to be staying?
If you have hearing loss, you can request a room that is hearing-friendly when making your hotel reservations. The hotel must reserve a minimum number of rooms with TDDs, visual notification devices and telephone amplifiers. If you need any other services, please call ahead.

Are you ready to have some fun? Get ready to have fun!
It’s now time to have fun. You don’t need to be a part of the crowd if you have hearing loss. You want your hearing aids to be charged and powered no matter what, whether you are on the trail, at sea, or simply relaxing at home. You don’t even have to look for an AC outlet if your hearing aids need some extra power.
