Our dogs

A hearing dog changes a deaf person’s life on many levels. Deafness can be a very isolating and lonely disability; a hearing dog can offer increased independence, greater confidence, companionship and a feeling of security.

Since 1982, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People has trained over 1400 hearing dogs. From small beginnings we now work to fulfil a growing demand for these specially trained dogs.

The dogs themselves are all easily recognisable by their distinctive burgundy jacket and lead slips, which also helps to identify the recipient’s otherwise ‘invisible’ disability.
