The Ultimate Travel Guide for Hearing Device Users: Tips for a Stress-Free Trip

Amalee -

Holidays and weekend breaks are the perfect chance to relax and unwind, and maybe even explore somewhere new! But if you use hearing devices or experience tinnitus, travelling can sometimes add an extra layer of planning.

To help you make the most of your trip, we’ve put together this practical guide with helpful advice and product recommendations to keep you comfortable and connected while on the go.

1. Keep Up Your Daily Hearing Aid Care Routine

It can be tempting to relax your daily maintenance when you're away from home - but regular cleaning and drying is still essential, especially in warmer or more humid climates.

Travel Cleaning Kits

  • Weekend Travel Kit – Ideal for short trips and staycations, this compact kit includes drying capsules, wipes, cleaning tools and a puffer, all in a handy drawstring pouch. No electricity required—great for camping or caravanning.
  • Phonak Paediatric Care Kit – Designed for younger users, this colourful carry case makes hearing aid care easy and fun for kids and teens.

💡
Top tip: Store your cleaning kit in your hand luggage, especially if flying - pressure changes and long flights can introduce extra moisture into your hearing aids.


2. Bring Spare Batteries (or Don’t Forget the Charger)

One of the most common travel mishaps? Running out of batteries while you're away. Hearing aids, cochlear implants, and bone-anchored devices all rely on a power source. Always pack spares or ensure your charger and plug adaptors are in your bag.

3. Don’t Miss the Hotel Breakfast: Set a Hearing Loss-Friendly Alarm

Traditional hotel alarm clocks might not cut it if you’re deaf or hard of hearing. That’s where vibrating and flashing alarm clocks come in - they wake you with light, vibration, or both instead of relying on sound alone.

Our top travel pick: Sonic Shaker Alarm Clock – Compact and reliable, with a protective travel pouch, strong vibration and visual indicators. Ideal for shared rooms (or tents!) where you don’t want to disturb others.

4. Store Your Hearing Devices Safely

From hotel nightstands to the bottom of a rucksack, it's easy for your hearing aids to get misplaced or damaged. It's a great idea to have a dedicated place for your devices to keep them when they're not in use. We recommend a secure storage box that can keep everything safe - and help prevent accidents.

Our top pick: Simple and effective - our colourful hearing aid storage boxes are useful whether you're at home or away.

💡
Top tip: Choose a different colour for each family member to avoid mix-ups - especially helpful when travelling with children or in group settings.


5. Don’t Forget Plug Adaptors for International Travel

There's nothing worse than forgetting the plug adaptor when travelling abroad! If your hearing aids are rechargeable or you use additional tech (like streamers or alarm clocks), make sure to pack the right plug adaptor for your destination. We stock travel adaptors suitable for most countries.
