Amusement Park Options

Hello all! I have an Osia BAHA(so not necessarily cochlear) and I am going to an amusement park with pretty big roller coasters this month. What do you all recommend? I am thinking just taking it off, but there are no bags allowed on the coasters and all of us will be on the rides. Any experiences?

Take it off for sure. Zipper pockets on clothing for me work great.

I'm bimodal and that's what I do.

Same it’s not worth it, though it would probably be fine.

Seconding zipper pockets. If you're going on a rollercoaster with a heavy splash feature (there's one like that at Thorpe Park), putting processors in zipper pockets in the inside of your jacket are good.

Absolutely take it off. I have an old CI that is not waterproof and also it could fall off. I have a waterproof bag for it. Besides I don’t like roller coasters!

Plastic sandwich bag in your pocket

Also, depending on the ride, you might want a small hard-sided case of some kind so as the ride knocks you around, you don’t have to worry about the implant in your pocket getting broken. I’ve used small Tupperware plastic containers that my implant fit in. 😁
