At 71 years old, Ali still works as a manager and estimator for a construction company in Vancouver. However, his hearing loss was making it difficult to communicate on the job. Through WorkBC Assistive Technology Services, he received funding to help cover the cost of the hearing aids he needs to keep working.
“[The] Assistive Technology Services program assisted me to purchase suitable hearing aids to keep my job,” he shares.
Ali says he would “definitely” recommend WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others in need.
“[It] helped me to improve my hearing, my communication, and keep my job,” he explains. “Before having these hearing aids, I was not able to communicate at work.”
WorkBC Assistive Technology Services is operated by Neil Squire. Assistive Technology Services are available to individuals who have a work-related barrier due to a disability or a functional limitation. This may include barriers related to traveling to and from the workplace.
