An introduction to Hearing Dogs for Deaf People
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a UK charity that trains dogs that help deaf people leave loneliness behind and reconnect with life. The dogs do this through constant companionship and emotional support, giving deaf people the confidence to reconnect with their family, friends and community around them.
Just as importantly, they help by alerting deaf people to important and life-saving sounds like the smoke alarm, alarm clock and oven timers. Their burgundy coats also signal to the public that their partners are deaf.
This combination of practical assistance and lifelong friendship can be completely life-changing.

Oh my goodness! Deaf individuals are not isolated from the hearing world. We engage with both Deaf and hearing people through various means, including writing notes, using sign language, and employing technology like video calls. So please, do not label us as "isolated people!"
