Anthony is a self-employed carpenter in the Lower Mainland, focusing primarily on cedar fences and decks. Through WorkBC Assistive Technology Services, he received hearing aids that have made a huge difference on the job.

“I’m very grateful for your assistance,” he shares. “I can say that the hearing aids have been a godsend! Thank you!”

The new hearing aids have made it much easier for him to talk with clients and respond to inquiries as he advertises his work online.

“Dealing with them face-to-face and hearing clearly is a blessing,” he shares, explaining that his hearing aids have also made it much easier to take phone calls.

On the jobsite, he’s found it much easier to communicate with the helper he employs.

“Communication with my helper on the job has been great as well,” he says. “Not having to ask to repeat what has been said is such a relief!”
