Tania-Lynn has been taking courses to upgrade her skills and achieve her career goals, while also working in retail. However, she was having difficulties hearing during her studies and while working.

The WorkBC Centre she was working with referred her to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for help.

“The Assistive Technology Services Program was instrumental in helping me acquire the necessary hearing aids. Without the program, I would still be without hearing aids,” she shares. “These aids have also greatly assisted me in my courses, as being able to hear better has improved my overall learning experience.”

She has also noticed a big difference during her workday.

“These accommodations have vastly improved my ability to hear various sounds, including customers [and] colleagues,” she says. “Overall, communication has become much easier and more enjoyable.

“My life has positively changed with better communication at work.”

Tania-Lynn is grateful for her new hearing aids.

“I highly recommend the Assistive Technology Services program,” Tania-Lynn shares. “The Assistive Technology Services program has truly made a significant difference in my life, and I am incredibly thankful for their assistance.

“Their commitment to accessibility has truly transformed my life.”
