    Date of visit: April 2018

    I have experience of challenges around: hearing and moving around.

    This is the card for the Assistance desk

    When we set off to our recent holiday from Birmingham Airport we asked for assistance for Debbie as she had a bad back. The staff were brilliant and Debs would NOT have managed without the assistance. HOWEVER, as you can see on the card it shows the ear with a T...I asked the lady at the counter to turn on the loop, as behind her on the wall was the pictograms from this card. The response "What’s a loop?" after remaining calm and explaining how a loop system would help me, they promised that a loop would be fitted ASAP. Could anyone who is going to use the airport and wears a hearing aid remind the staff of their promise? I will check next time we are travelling through..TA

    Signage was excellent, Debbie needs were taken care off, however there wasn't a loop system available and I couldn't hear the instructions given to my wife
