She’s given me so much and I’ve made a whole world of new friends. Pickle is so important and helped me pick myself up after that.
At work she helps me by making me aware of sounds, whether it’s the lift or a fire alarm. And at home, she’s there to let me know about the things hearing people would take for granted – from the washing machine to the kettle, to my one-year-old daughter needing attention.
As well as Pickle, I’ve also had fantastic support from Aviva to help me do my job. Small things like not talking over each other on teams meetings makes a big difference so that I can read and understand the captions. Also having a desk that is in an area that doesn’t have too much excess noise along with good lighting that helps me lip read. These things make a big difference.
Hopefully if more employers make these kinds of changes, more people with hearing loss can be part of the UK’s workforce. At the moment, too many fantastic people with great skills are not able to achieve their working potential.”
Thanks, Kirsten for telling your inspiring story….we love Pickle!
