About Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People help deaf people leave loneliness behind and reconnect with life through our life-changing hearing dogs and personalised hearing support services.

We believe that nobody with hearing loss should feel alone. This is why we train highly skilled hearing dogs, that help deaf people by providing constant companionship, and alerting them to sounds. These can be life-saving sounds like the smoke alarm and intruder alarm, and other important sounds such as the oven timer and baby monitor. It’s also why we offer a wide range of personalised hearing support services that address the needs of individuals plus partners, family and friends, helping them to reconnect with life. This combination of practical assistance and emotional support is life-changing.
