Travelling with hearing aids involves extra care to ensure they function optimally throughout your trip. Here’s how to maintain them effectively:
Preparation Before Your Trip
- Hearing aid check-up: Have a pre-travel check-up with your Hearing Instrument Practitioner to ensure your hearing aids are in top condition.
- Travel kit essentials: Include all necessary supplies, such as:
- Spare batteries
- Charging station and cables (with adapters if needed)
- Cleaning kit (microfiber cloth, disinfecting wipes, cleaning wire, and brush)
- Dryer or dehumidifier
- Protective storage case
- Extra domes and wax guards
- Bluetooth accessories, if used regularly
During Travel
- Keep supplies handy: Carry your hearing aid essentials in your carry-on bag for easy access and to avoid loss or damage.
- Security checkpoint: Inform airport security about your hearing aids. You can wear them through security checks without removing them.
- Use visual aids: Use visual aids and ask for assistance in noisy environments like airports to better understand announcements.
- In-Flight care: Keep your hearing aids on during the flight. They are not affected by changes in cabin pressure.
Daily Care While Travelling
- Routine cleaning: Maintain your usual cleaning routine to prevent damage from different environments.
- Moisture management: Use a dehumidifier at night, especially in humid climates, to keep your hearing aids dry.
- Safe storage: Store your hearing aids in their protective case when not in use to prevent damage or loss.
By following these steps, you can ensure your hearing aids remain in excellent working condition, allowing you to enjoy your travels without any hearing-related issues.
