Carol works as a receptionist and does office administration work for a construction company. She has hearing loss.

“[WorkBC Assistive Technology Services helped me] by paying a large portion of the cost of two hearing aids. Financially, I was not able to purchase them on my own,” she shares.

“It is life changing,” she says. “I’m able to hear clearly now what my co-workers are talking about, not always having to ask them to repeat themselves. I can hear customers much more clearer on the phone.”

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.

“I’m very appreciative and thankful that the Assistive Technology Services program exists.”
