Dubai Airport has installed more than 520 hearing loops across its three terminals to help travellers with hearing loss
Travel just got easier and more inclusive at Dubai International Airport (DXB). The new hearing loops make it simple for passengers with hearing aids or cochlear implants to hear announcements clearly without any extra equipment. They have been installed at key areas ensuring that every step of the airport journey is easier to navigate.
Where the hearing loops are available
The hearing loops have been added to important areas across the airport. These include check-in counters, immigration desks, boarding gates and information desks.
How hearing loops work
Travellers with hearing aids or cochlear implants can connect automatically by switching to the ‘T’ setting on their device. No pairing or extra equipment is needed, making it simple to use while moving around the airport.
