Hearing Dogs for Deaf People |
| We train dogs, mainly selected from rescue centres, to alert severely and profoundly deaf people to everyday household sounds. The dogs alert by touching the owner with a paw then leading to the source of the sound. For alarm sounds including the smoke alarm and fire bell, the dogs alert by touch then drop straight to the floor to indicate danger.
Sounds the dogs alert to include the doorbell, alarm clock, cooker timer, telephone and baby cry.
Further Information: The dogs are free to applicants. Minimum age for application is 18; no maximum age. The Charity is also running a pilot project placing hearing dogs with deaf children. |
