The Association of People with a Hearing Impairment (APDA) has been receiving testimonies for several years from the hearing impaired seniors or their loved ones who encounter major communication problems in their living environments. In collaboration with the CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale and Prévost Audioprothésistes, the APDA has created online training adapted for care personnel, in particular for accelerated training cohorts in order to meet the needs caused by COVID-19.

The objectives of the training are: to identify the needs of people with a hearing impairment and strategies to promote understanding of people with hearing loss, to recognize different technical and technological tools promoting communication and the roles of the various resources that can offer help for the deaf person.
