This may include assistive listening devices, sign language interpretation services and closed captioning on TVs. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.captel.com\/2019\/01\/hearing-loss-friendly-cruise-lines\/\">website<\/a> provides a list of some popular cruises and the accommodations they offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pack Hearing Aids &amp; Accessories&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve booked your trip and it\u2019s time to pack, it\u2019s important that you don\u2019t forget any of your hearing essentials. Wear your hearing aids and pack any necessary accessories in your suitcase. Include your charger or spare batteries, as well as your cleaning kit, a dehumidifier and any assistive listening devices you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduce Yourself to Crew Members<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019re settled into your room on the cruise ship, take some time to introduce yourself to the crew members. Tell them about your <a href=\"https:\/\/hearingaidreno.com\/hearing-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hearing loss<\/a> and needs. In the event of an emergency or drill, they will know to find you and let you know what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask to Be Seated Somewhere Quiet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When dining, ask the server or steward if you can be seated in a quiet corner so you can better hear your travel companions. Specifically, request a table away from the kitchen and waiter\u2019s station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Participate in Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the most out of your experience, make sure you participate in as many of the activities the cruise line offers as possible.
