Jamie is a sales professional based in Kelowna. It’s a job that requires him to be focused in conversations with clients and staff, something that was becoming hard to do with his hearing loss.

“I am able to understand and hear what clients and colleagues need from me,” says Natasha, a WorkBC Assistive Technology Services participant.
