Written by Neil Squire on November 8, 2024. Posted in Case Studies

A person uses a vaccuum to clean the floor.

Nand works full-time as a janitor. He has hearing loss, which can make it difficult to communicate with his co-workers. His audiologist referred him to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for funding for hearing aids.

“[Assistive Technology Services] helped me pay for hearing aids, which helps me keep my job,” he says.

His new hearing aids have made a big difference on the job.

“I can hear my colleagues better, less mishearing instructions,” he shares.

Nand says he “100%” recommends WorkBC Assistive Technology Services, saying that since he got his hearing aids, he was able to get a second job as a part-time cook at a care home.

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.
