Is your amplified phone, TV device, or assistive listening technology not working the way you expected? Our Accessibility Ambassadors are here for you. Include ME at Home is here to help you stay connected and confident with your hearing technology.
Include ME at Home
Maximize Your Assistive Listening Devices
Our trained Ambassadors, who also have hearing loss, offer phone calls and home visits to help you. This program has helped nearly 200 members get their devices set-up, and kept them functioning for maximal personal benefit.
With hands-on training and experience using these tools, our Accessibility Ambassadors are here to offer:
- Personalized Guidance: We’ll walk you through setup and daily use so features on your device work the way you need it to.
- Tech Troubleshooting: Glitches or Confusion? We’ll help identify the problem and find practical solutions.
- In-Home Support: Prefer help in person? We can visit you at home for one-on-one assistance.
Reach out today to get support from one of our trained Ambassadors.
Research
This year, Hear Quebec has obtained 2 grants for research to study and measure the impact of our new Include ME programs.
Through the Government of Canada’s community services recovery fund, we have partnered with Dr. Laura Copeland from Concordia University, to study the relationship between of community health workers and the technological usage amongst people with hearing loss. We hope that the findings of this research will improve the services and activities/programs we can offer for people with Hearing Loss.
We have also received a grant through the McConnell Foundation and Innoweave to continue our work with Stephanie Garrow and her team, who are heavily involved in the strategic planning process. This new grant will help us to evaluate the impact of Community Consultations.
