Thread: Hearing impaired travelers

My mom has severe hearing loss. I have moderate hearing loss. Hearing aids never work for me no matter what type I get, so if my younger sister is not with me at all times, I will miss a lot of what crew members say. Should I insist my sister always stay with me or can a TA do something about it to give her some freedom?

I really do not know that much that you would really need to hear unless you want to know the daily message (usually at the same time of the day) If you hear something you can always ask any of the crew to repeat it for you, they are very good about that and are used to handling most language problems.

I don't think you really have anything to worry about. Hope that doesn't mean that you will leave your younger sister behind, though!

Of course I won't leave her behind! She wants to go on a cruise as much as I do.
