Travel Insurance for Deafness and Hearing Loss FAQs

Do I need to declare deafness or hearing loss on Travel Insurance?

Yes. Deafness or hearing loss is considered a pre-existing medical condition and must be declared on your Travel Insurance. This is to ensure your policy is valid should you need to receive medical treatment abroad, return home in an emergency, or cancel your trip due to unforeseen circumstances.

What does Travel Insurance for deafness or hearing loss cover?

Travel Insurance for deafness or hearing loss covers:

  • Emergency medical expenses – either related to your hearing or sudden illness or injury.
  • Repatriation – the cost of bringing you home in a medical emergency where treatment abroad is not sufficient for your condition.
  • Cancellation – should a sudden change to your health or other unexpected event (such as bereavement, redundancy etc) mean you need to cancel your trip.
  • Baggage cover – in the event your luggage becomes lost or stolen during your trip.
Is there an upper-age limit for Travel Insurance for deafness?

No. Our Travel Insurance for deafness and hearing loss policies are offered with no upper-age limit. This means whether you’re over 65, 70, 80, are hard of hearing and looking for the right Travel Insurance, we’ll be happy to help.

How does having deafness or hearing loss affect the cost of insurance?

Being deaf or hard of hearing could slightly affect the cost of your Travel Insurance, but it’s not the only factor that goes into determining your quote. Your age, destination, and duration of travel will also affect the cost of your insurance, along with any other pre-existing medical conditions. Failing to declare any pre-existing medical conditions that apply to you risks invalidating your policy should you need to make a claim later on, so make sure to declare these in full.

What if I am due to have surgery for hearing loss?

If you are awaiting surgery for hearing loss, these should also be declared on your Travel Insurance. This way, you can ensure you are properly covered for any related complications that could arise later on when travelling.
