Almoneda works as a pharmacy assistant, and her job includes filling prescriptions and answering phones. She has hearing loss, and she found that she was often having to ask customers and co-workers to repeat themselves.
Through WorkBC Assistive Technology Services, Almoneda received funding for the hearing aids she needs for work. She’s seen a big difference in her workday, now able to hear conversations with much less effort.
“It changed a lot. I hear properly at work,” she shares. “[The hearing aids] improved my hearing. I understand my boss and my co-workers while [they’re] talking to me.”
Almoneda recommends WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others, saying, “It helped a lot. The people in this program are very accommodating, friendly, and helpful.
“Thank you so much!”
