Selma is a senior who is currently looking for work, and is trying to upgrade her English teaching certification so that she can teach English as a second language. She has hearing loss, and found she needed new hearing aids.

“I really love my work and am happy that I can focus on my work instead of on my pain,” Joanne says. “I am able to meet deadlines and be more reliable for on-call work. I’m able to work for longer hours.”
“The help to get my hearing aids funded has been a life saver. I did not have the money for hearing aids and I need them,” Michael shares. “I am just starting to ease my way back to work.”
“[Hearing aids] have helped me tremendously. I now hear many of the instructions from teachers, comments from students and work related meetings at work. It is much more beneficial to not have people need to repeat themselves to me when talking.”
