Lovisa works with an organization helping women fleeing abuse. Her job involves talking with clients in-person and over the phone, a task made difficult by her hearing loss.

“I help them find a safe place to stay and other resources that they need,” she explains. “I have limited hearing in both ears since birth. It impacts my work in a way that is very challenging, I am taking down wrong information and mishearing things.”

Her hearing aid clinic referred her to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for help funding the hearing aids she needs for work. She applied and was quickly approved.

“I did receive a hearing aid for both ears. It has been life changing in hearing everything that clients are saying and preventing me from making mistakes,” she says.

Lovisa recommends WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others in need.

“It has made me more secure in my job,” she shares. “Thank you for everything.”
