Mathilda works as a bookkeeper for a safety training company in northern BC. She has hearing loss.

“I do a lot of phone calls because of my work, and it was difficult to communicate, hear, and understand what people were saying,” she explains.

A friend referred her to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for help obtaining hearing aids. Mathilda applied, and was quickly approved for funding, getting the hearing aids she needs for work.

Mathilda recommends WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others in need, saying that the new hearing have improved her ability to carry out her work tasks by “a lot.”

“With my hearing aids, it’s wonderful to communicate, hear, and listen to people,” she says. “It’s less stress and more joy to work and communicate.”
