We are happy to announce that, through the hard work of our partner Hearing Assistive Technology Group Inc., Desjardins Ontario Credit Union has become the first financial institution in Canada to install hearing loops in two of their branches. These innovative loops provide a discreet and dignified way for individuals to receive important information directly through their hearing aids while also significantly reducing background noise.
Thank you to Desjardins Ontario Credit Union for their commitment to creating hearing-friendly spaces for all. Your dedication to inclusivity will make an incredible impact on the lives of those with hearing loss in Sudbury and Newliskard.
“At Desjardins we are constantly evolving to meet the needs of our members, we are therefore thrilled to be able to offer the hearing loop system in some of our branches. We are getting great feedback from our members saying it’s much easier for them to understand clearly what the tellers are saying. One member finds it very convenient to use her mobile device to use the hearing loop option and feels more comfortable doing her banking transactions at the teller services.”
