“I Am Now Able to Hear What I Need to Be Able to Function at My Job”

Lola works in food service at a care home for seniors. She has hearing loss, and with over 100 residents to serve, it was becoming hard for her to hear food orders.
Her audiologist referred her to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for help funding a new set of hearing aids. She applied and was quickly approved, allowing her to get the hearing aids she needs to do her job.
“Thanks to them I was able to purchase hearing aids, which have helped me emotionally and physically,” she says. “I am now able to hear what the residents are ordering, I can also contribute to our daily pre-service, which we have everyday [. . .] where the cooks go over our menu for the day.”
“I am now able to hear what I need to be able to function at my job.”
When asked if she recommends WorkBC Assistive Technology Services, Lola replied, “Absolutely without a doubt, awesome support.”
WorkBC Assistive Technology Services is operated by Neil Squire. Assistive Technology Services are available to individuals who have a work-related barrier due to a disability or a functional limitation. This may include barriers related to traveling to and from the workplace.
