Who this list is for
This packing list is for families bringing a child who uses hearing aids to a routine pediatrician well visit. It’s meant for children who rely on hearing support, whether they use aids full-time or as needed. If your child needs extra help communicating with the care team, or if you want to avoid last-minute stress looking for batteries or paperwork, this list is for you.
How to use this list
Start by gathering all paperwork: health insurance card, your photo ID, appointment confirmation, immunization record, and current medication and allergy lists. Pack your child’s hearing aids and double-check that you have two. Place them in their case or charging case, and bring spare batteries if needed. Add the hearing aid cleaning cloth and a note describing your child’s communication preferences. Include contact info for your audiology clinic and, if your child has one, their school hearing support plan. Write down any questions for the pediatrician. Finish with a water bottle, snack, quiet activity, and a comfort item if your child uses one.
Common mistakes
Parents sometimes forget spare hearing aid batteries or the charging case, which can make the appointment harder if a device runs out of power. It’s easy to overlook the communication preference note or audiology contact info—these help the care team adapt quickly. Don’t assume your child’s hearing aids are in the case; double-check before leaving. Avoid packing too many toys or snacks, which can clutter your bag and distract during the visit.
What is on this list
You’ll find essentials like the child health insurance card, parent or guardian photo ID, appointment confirmation, immunization record, and medication lists. For hearing support, pack two hearing aids, their case, a charging case or spare batteries, and a cleaning cloth. Add a communication preference note and audiology clinic info. Include a water bottle, snack, quiet activity, and a comfort item if needed. Cross off anything your child doesn’t use or that’s already in your bag.
Before you go
Double-check that both hearing aids are charged or have fresh batteries. Review your list of questions for the pediatrician. Make sure all paperwork is in a single folder or pouch. Test the quiet activity and comfort item to be sure they still help your child. Leave early to allow time for check-in and device adjustments if needed.
