Hearing aids and work ADA
For those who use hearing aids full time in order to function with their hearing loss/deafness, and work from home. Please help. Do you connect your hearing aids to your work computer or do you have an accommodation to use your personal computer? My hearing aids require repairing to new device every time it’s switched from one to another which takes reconfiguring. So, if I pair to my personal computer for example and then go to a family members house and wanted to switch to theirs, I would never go through the hassle. So, up until now I have the accommodation to use my personal computer to work with my own device (everyone works from home - that part is not an accommodation). The accommodation is my own device. This way I don’t have to constantly pair and unpair all day if I need to use my personal cell phone to… hear. I just received a note from Hr saying they’d like to move me to a work device. I am so stressed out at how this is going to work. Please share details if you have a similar scenario.
