“The hearing aids help me in my classroom teaching,” he says. “Communication is essential both in noisy and quiet environments, and the hearing aids are crucial for me. I also use them to connect to devices when using Zoom calls, for remote work.”
“How I work with people around me changed, personally, in a good way. On how I am more confident in working with other people. I am more open in speaking with others as I know I can hear them better. As compared to before, I’d rather stay quiet as I know I would always have a hard time hearing them and would feel embarrassed on asking them to keep repeating what they said.”
“These accommodations have helped me be an active, informed, and safe co-worker. I can hear everything my clients, co-workers, and other service workers are telling me. I am no longer frustrating clients by not hearing them. I am no longer missing vital information.”
“My new hearing aids allow me to hear conversations accurately and discern emotions clearly,” Steve explains. “With clear and concise hearing, I am able to help all my young clients fully. My co-workers also appreciate not having to repeat themselves in our conversations.”
Kim’s hearing aids weren’t working too well, but she couldn’t afford new ones. When she told her audiologist that she would have to “make do” with the old ones, her audiologist referred her to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for support.
