Victoria - Getting the tools she needed

Victoria needed hearing devices to help her thrive in her workplace.

Victoria has had hearing loss in both ears since childhood. When Victoria’s team began working remotely, she was unable to lip read or use other strategies to compensate for her hearing loss.

A family member, who also has hearing loss, told Victoria about WorkBC Assistive Technology Services (ATS). ATS provides equipment and devices to help individuals overcome barriers and thrive in the workplace.

WorkBC ATS provided financial support to help Victoria purchase hearing aids and an accompanying microphone with Bluetooth connectivity. The new hearing aids and microphone make a significant difference in her ability to hear during videoconferences and audioconferences. The new equipment is easier and more comfortable, allowing Victoria to spend her energy on her job and expertise -  not her hearing challenges.
