How to Ask for Hearing Accommodations

Will you be attending a loved ones’ wedding?

Are you worried you may not be able to enjoy it with your hearing loss?

Here are some accommodations you can ask for that will help you enjoy the wedding.

Integrate A Loop System, FM or DM System to the Venue – To eliminate background noise, you can ask the ceremony venue to integrate a loop system, FM, or DM system. These systems work by transmitting the sound from one or more microphones directly into your hearing aid or a personal receiver with headphones.  Make sure the microphone and loop system work in advance!

Request Written Materials – To be certain you don’t miss out, ask the couple to share their vows in written form on the wedding program if possible. If you want to dance during the reception, see if there is a set playlist that can be shared!

How to Enjoy a Wedding When You Have Hearing Loss

Wedding season is here!

Have you been receiving invitations?

How can you enjoy weddings to the fullest?

Ask for a Close Seat – Before the ceremony, arrange to sit at the front of the venue so you can hear and read lips if necessary. During the reception, ask for a table far from the DJ or band. At the table, position yourself so those you want to speak to most are at your sides rather than across the table. Not only is it harder to hear across the table, but high centerpieces can make reading lips difficult.

Wear Your Hearing Aids – If you wear hearing aids, make sure to wear them for the ceremony. You may need to adjust them to hear the vows but keep the background noise to a minimum. Throughout the day, take small breaks to turn your hearing aids off and relax.
