My new hearing aid/metal detector
 
Just got my new digital hearing aid. Will it set off the airport metal detector this Wed on our flight to Tampa?

My MIL wears hearing aids and she travels quite a bit and never had a problem, or at least not that I am aware of.

I have 2 digital hearing aids and have never had a problem with that.

It shouldn't set of the metal detector but if it does the TSA agent will just "wand" you. No big deal!

I have no hearing aids, no implants, no major jewely, no metal in my travel'n shoes or pants, and yet I ALWAYS set off the detectors.

My husband says it's my magnetic personality. ;-)

It is because aliens have implanted some device in you - and the metal in that sets of detectors.

That's what I was afraid happened!!!

Now I'll have to travel the world looking for a shaman to remove it....
