Hey there, jet setter. You may be a pro at picking the perfect destination for your next adventure, but what about easily navigating the ins and outs of air travel with your hearing devices? We recommend reviewing this preflight briefing of tips to ensure that you and your trusty traveling device companions have a safe and enjoyable trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pack Your Device Accessories<\/strong>\u2014Make space in your suitcase for everything your devices need to work their best. A charging station, charging cable, dryer\/dehumidifier, cleaning kit and extra batteries, domes and wax guards are all must-haves for keeping devices happy while you\u2019re away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wear Your Devices Through Security<\/strong>\u2014Taking devices in and out can be a hassle, so go ahead and leave them in. Just let the security agent know that you\u2019re wearing hearing devices before stepping through the metal detector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Connect to the Airport\u2019s Hearing Loop<\/strong>\u2014To help hearing device users hear announcements more clearly, many airports have induction loop systems, which produce a wireless signal that devices with telecoils can pick up. Remember to switch your hearing devices to the \u201cT\u201d setting, and you\u2019ll be good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wear Your Devices During the Flight<\/strong>\u2014When you hear the flight attendant say, \u201cPlease turn off all electronic devices and stow them in your seat pocket,\u201d you don\u2019t have to! This rule doesn\u2019t apply to hearing devices. While it can be tempting to take a vacation from your devices while onboard the aircraft, they make it easier for you to interact with flight staff, chat with your seatmates and hear the captain. In-flight announcements can be difficult to hear even while wearing devices, so let the flight staff know that you have hearing loss and ask them to come directly to you to relay any critical information face to face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another way to make traveling less turbulent?
