TAKE CARE OF YOUR EARS WHILE YOU TRAVEL and keep being you

-

It’s important to plan ahead for your trip in order to ensure a smooth travel experience. Whether you’re exploring the vibrant streets of a new city or reconnecti­ng with loved ones in di erent corners of the world, your hearing health is essential. Here’s your ultimate checklist for traveling with your hearing aids and tips to safeguard your ears while on the go.

PROTECT YOUR EARS & TRAVEL COMFORTABL­Y:

Pack a pair of earplugs to help with the loud noise on an airplane or train (custom sleep or noise plugs work best) Try noise cancelling headphones, they also easily connect to any entertainm­ent devices while you travel

FOR HEARING AID WEARERS:

After packing your essentials, take a moment to organize your hearing aid kit with care. This should include items like the following: Hearing aid case and dryer Extra batteries for non-rechargeab­le hearing aids Charger for lithium-ion rechargeab­le hearing aids (and an adapter if you’re traveling overseas) Cleaning kit, domes, and wax guards (these come especially handy in areas that have warm climates and humidity) If you are travelling by car, always keep your hearing devices on. Remember to keep your windows up to reduce distractin­g wind noise and minimize in-car distractio­ns for focused and safe driving

EXTRA TIP:

Many airports feature loop systems that allow people with hearing aids to hear important announceme­nts more clearly. You can also sign up for text messages from your airline, which will alert you to things like gate changes or delays. Don’t forget to wear your hearing aids on the plane to ensure you are aware of your surroundin­gs.
