Hi Siz

i am profoundly deaf and wear wireless hearing aids. I use a ReSound MultiMic to enhance sound and stream wirelessly. I have used it onboard - particularly when in CE as there was an empty seat between my husband and me. He wore the MultiMic and I could hear him much better. We checked with CC beforehand and they were ok with it but had to be switched off for take-off and landing.

Shortly about to take a long long haul flight and I have checked the in-flight films on offer. There are 3 I want to see and they all have subtitles- please do ensure subtitles are on any film/tv that your daughter wants to see and kick up blazes if no subtitles! I got 10k avios for no subtitles on a relatively recent flight. The only other issue that I have is that I don’t sleep that well on board as I feel the vibrations of the aircraft as us deaf people are extremely sensitive to vibration.

The other thing - have you selected your seats yet? If you are all on the BAEC - put your daughter’s deafness down under the assistance tab. Then get in touch with BA customer services to be allowed to choose your seats and sit together for no extra charge (not exit rows). There has been new legislation issued to include those with hidden disabilities. As I’m on an overnight flight, I wanted to be away from galley and toilets so I don’t get woken by lights and on a window seat so I don’t feel the air movement as someone walks past my seat! Otherwise it wakes me up and I get grumpy!!

Have a great flight and hope it goes well.

And if anyone can advise if I can plug my MultiMic straight into the headphone socket (A380) or do I need a 2 pronged adapter??

Cheers
