myAko founder and CEO Kevin Ashley suffers from deafness since his time in the military and permanently wears hearing aids. Kevin said, “Simon is an amazing passionate and intelligent guy, I very much enjoy our discussions over a cuppa or two. Like Simon, I’m passionate about raising deaf awareness and other disabilities, which is why we will actively support Simon’s campaign. Simon has already introduced over 200,000 learners to his deaf awareness digital learning program”. What can you do to help?
Our aim is introduce at least a million people to this campaign. Why not show your customers and your employees that you are inclusive, and understand the challenges of communicating when deaf or hard of hearing?
