Karen works in the finance department of an organization, responsible for variance reporting, budget analysis, and reconciliation. She oversees two bookkeepers, and also answers the inquiries of managers, donors, and stakeholders. Recently, she has noticed a decline in her hearing, particularly affecting her ability to hear speech.
When asked if she would recommend WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others, Carol replies, “Without a doubt! The agents were very friendly and helpful, and the process went smooth and quickly. It was 10 days from the time I made a phone call to the day I had a fitting for the hearing aids.”
Kerstin is self-employed, working as an accountant. Her job involves talking with staff and customers, both in-person and over the phone. She has hearing loss.
Suzy began noticing hearing loss nearly 15 years ago, and had previously considered getting hearing aids, but she couldn’t afford them. She found it difficult to participate in events like gallery openings with her hearing loss, and as a teacher, she found she was asking students to repeat themselves multiple times.
