It’s the time of year when many people are preparing to travel to spend time with family and friends. If you wear hearing aids, a bit of extra care can ensure you’re able to enjoy the sounds of the season with ease.
Packing Essentials
A few extra considerations when packing your suitcase can prevent stress related to hearing technology. As you prepare for your holiday travel, be sure to bring:
- Plenty of hearing aid batteries, and adapters if you’re going abroad with rechargeable hearing aids
- A case for your hearing aids, to protect them when not in use
- A hearing aid cleaning kit
- A dehumidifier, if you’re traveling to a humid climate
Flying with Hearing Aids
You might be concerned about wearing your hearing aids while going through TSA security, but metal detectors or x-ray equipment is not a risk to your technology. You can inform your TSA agent about your hearing aids if need be.
If you remove your hearing aids for the flight, it’s a good idea to put them in your carryon bag in case your checked luggage gets lost.
