Many consider the airport the most stressful part of travelling and when you have hearing aids. This is because all of the noise can be overwhelming. The overlapping sounds can make it difficult to hear family, friends, TSA agents, and announcements.
If you want to have as little stress as possible while flying, here are some tips to help make things easier:
Turn down the volume of your hearing aids so you don’t feel as overwhelmed
Try adjusting your settings to turn down background noise as much as possible
Wear your hearing aids through security so you can hear them clearly
Chew gum to help your ears pop
Wear your hearing aids during the flight, so you can hear the people around you and important announcements
Use visual cues for better a understanding in case you miss a part of the announcements
Stay awake during takeoff and landing, so you can help your ears pop
Book a seat near the front of the plane as it is further away from the noise of the engines
