“My hearing loss impacted many facets of my current work, including communication with clients and co-workers in many situations.”
“The quality of these hearing devices has significantly improved my relationship with colleagues by removing the additional requests to repeat themselves for me. Also, I can overhear tasks and conversations and act on them without being specifically told or asked to.”
“When I experienced the sudden hearing loss, I began to wonder how I could keep doing a job that I really like if I couldn’t hear properly. The ATS program has helped me get past that fear and hesitancy — I am once again very confident about my ability to perform well in my role.”
“I had learned to live without for so many years that I did not realize how much of life I was losing out on.”
