Linda develops and teaches a variety of personal development workshops for a retreat on the Gulf Islands.
“[I have a] hearing impairment, making it stressful and potentially reducing my effectiveness,” she shares. “My work includes working with intense emotions, and when people are emotional it is even more challenging to hear clearly what they are saying, and vital that I understand what they are saying.”
A friend referred her to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for help.
“[They were] extremely helpful, efficient and gracious. My hearing was tested, and I received hearing aids which are proving to be very beneficial,” she says.
She’s seen a big difference in her ability to work effectively thanks to the hearing aids she received through WorkBC Assistive Technology Services.
“I work long hours when I am teaching workshops,” Linda says. “I am much less stressed and fatigued when working with groups.”
Linda says she “aDZܳٱ” would recommend WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others in need.
“Working with the Assistive Technology Services people has been a stellar experience, and I am very grateful for the support through the process,” she shares. “Each person I have had contact with has been extremely helpful, knowledgeable, informative, pleasant to engage with.”
