Greetings!

I just found out about your board and hope some of you are able to respond to my querry:

I wear two CIC hearning aids and have always removed them prior to "wild" rides like Space Mountain, Rock 'n Roller Coaster, etc. for fear they would be jostled out during the ride. They are a good fit if it matters, no slipping. Do others simply not worry about this and leave them in? I do miss much of the soundtracks/music without them but I would hate to loose one! Of course, taking them out prior to Splash Mountain goes without saying. I'm leaving for my next WDW visit on 2/23 so I hope to get responses before then. Thanks in advance!

If they are properly fitting they shouldn't come out but I still would not take the chance on losing one. Too darn expensive! I am fortunate as I don't use them at WDW and use the interpreters but you have to be comfortable in ASL to do that.
And yes I do miss much of the music on the rides.

Hi Steve

I wear a hearing aid and have kept it in on Space Mountain with no problems. Also BTMR it has been fine.

Of course Splash is a bit risky so first time I took it out, but really wanted to hear what was going on, so second time just put my hand over my hearing aid as we came down the fall, but if you have two hearing aids that would be SO brave to take both hands off the bar but maybe you are braver than me? I don't like any of the rides which go upside down so can't advise on those, but I don't think I would risk it!

I hope you have a really great trip!
