About Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a national charity and centre of excellence in training hearing dogs to alert deaf people.

To everyday household sounds and danger signals in the home, work place and in public buildings.

Hearing Dogs was launched at the world famous Crufts dog show in 1982.

Since then we have created over 1,600 life-changing partnerships between deaf people and hearing dogs in the UK. There are currently over 750 working partnerships in the country.

The Charity trains hearing dogs to alert deaf people to important household sounds and danger signals such as the alarm clock, doorbell, telephone and smoke alarm - providing independence, confidence and companionship, as well as valuable companionship.

Hearing dogs alert their deaf recipients to household sounds by touching them with a paw or nudging with a nose to gain attention.

The recipient then asks the dog 'what is it?' by voice and/or hand command and then the hearing dog leads the recipient to the source of the sound.

For danger signals such as the smoke alarm, the hearing dog will alert the recipient in the same way, but when asked 'what is it?' the dog will lie down to indicate danger.
