Michael needed support to get back to work

Michael is the founder and general manager of a construction company in Kelowna – but was thrown off course with an anoxic brain injury which caused severe hearing loss.

When Michael was ready to get back to work, his audiologist referred him to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services (ATS) for support.

“I am just starting to ease my way back to work,” he said. “It is going to be a slow, long process. I am starting to get used to hearing aids and just focusing on my rehab and getting back to work without trying to over stimulate or overwhelm myself,” said Michael.

Michael says ATS has been “amazing to work with” and calls getting hearing aids “a life saver.”

“Without them I wouldn’t even stand a chance at getting back to work. Assistive Technology Services has helped me - tremendously - to start taking part in my business again since my accident. I am beyond grateful.”
