PREPARE IN ADVANCE
Always look ahead before making any booking
for accommodations, lot of hotels now provide rooms that are hearing impaired
friendly. If you are travelling with a travel agency tell them before about your
hearing problem, so that they can make the perfect space for you.
In many tourist cities a lot of tourist spots provide hearing loops or other assistive technology for hearing if you ask for it. The same goes with movie theaters and other entertainment hubs research about the place before your visit. Sounds will be more familiar if you memorize the famous names and places.
USE TECHNOLOGY FOR LOGISTICS
Whether you are traveling by plane, train, or
automobile, download all relevant apps onto your smart phone before you go.
Most airlines and train company apps include schedules and provide alerts for
route changes or delays. Check the app and start using the apps before you go
so you are prepared if you have trouble on your trip.
REMIND PEOPLE WHAT YOU NEED
People often miss the point about hearing loss
because it is invisible to them, so always remind them about your needs. It is
okay to tell them repeatedly about how are you feeling and what you want.
BRING EAR PROTECTION
Protecting your hearing is the first and most
important thing you need to do. Cities can be loud with the traffic and
travelling itself is a high decibel movement for long hours. When you’re
attending musical parties and concerts remove your hearing aids or adjust your
device’s volume. Always carry extra ear plugs and strategically organize them
so won’t be facing any trouble.
CARRY EXTRA BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
Your devices won't work without energy source.
Be sure to bring a sufficient supply of batteries and extra chargers.
Replacement batteries may be harder to find in all kinds of locations. Carry a
supply of batteries in different travel bags in case one gets misplaced. Check
that all your chargers are working well and bring an extra if available.
One of the most important contributors to successful hearing aid use is support from loved ones. HNR speech & hearing clinic helps you understand the cooperation and support to your impaired love one.
