TWO independent Lichfield businesses have teamed up to help travellers with hearing loss to enjoy stress-free summer holidays.

Audiologist Laura Evans from Cathedral Hearing and Helen Davis of Travel Counsellors have created a Holiday Hearing Health Checklist to help people in the coming months.

The pair – who are business neighbours on Sandford Street in Lichfield – want to encourage travellers to think about both their hearing health and wider arrangements.

Laura said:

> "I often see people spend weeks planning their holiday, but give very little thought to their hearing aids until the day before they leave.  
>  
> "A quick hearing check and a bit of preparation can make a huge difference. Whether it's hearing announcements at the airport, enjoying conversations over dinner or simply relaxing knowing you have spare batteries and chargers with you, a little forward planning helps people get the most from their holiday."

Helen added:

> "When I'm helping clients plan a trip, it's often the little details that make the biggest difference.  
>  
> "Something as simple as arranging airport assistance in advance, choosing accommodation that suits their needs or checking insurance cover for hearing aids can remove a lot of worry.  
>  
> "My job is to highlight those practicalities so people can focus on enjoying their holiday."

The two businesses have made the checklists available on their websites at [www.cathedralhearing.co.uk](https://www.cathedralhearing.co.uk/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) and [www.travelcounsellors.co.uk/helen.davis](http://www.travelcounsellors.co.uk/helen.davis?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).

Laura said:

> "Holidays should be about making memories, not worrying about what might go wrong.  
>  
> "By taking a few simple steps before travelling, people with hearing loss can feel more confident, more independent and better prepared to enjoy every part of their trip."
