​Provincial accessibility standards support people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing in finding and maintaining meaningful employment. People who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing deserve equal access to employment. Accessible Hearing Solutions can provide workplace site assessments to inform businesses on how to make the workplace accessible for people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. We work for businesses, organizations, and government employment offices to help support workers who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing maintain work.​

​Reasonable investments in workplace access would allow over 550,000 Canadians with disabilities to participate more fully in the workforce, increasing GDP by $16.8 billion by 2030.
