“I hear better and because of their financial support, I was able to get the hearing aids. If I would have had to buy them on my own, I would not have gotten them,” Deborah says.
“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.”
Brian is legally blind, having very limited vision. While working on a couple projects that required him to spend a lot of time on the computer, he noticed that his old computer wasn’t up to the task. And the long hours spent on the computer were causing him pain, in part because of the strain with his limited vision.
