Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People train hearing dogs to help alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds that they would otherwise miss – sounds that many people might take for granted, such as the doorbell or danger signals such as alarms. A hearing dog can make a huge, life changing difference to a deaf person, providing independence and confidence while also providing loyalty and companionship. www.hearingdogs.org.uk
