Best Answer

Hearing or signal dogs notify their deaf handlers of common sounds that require attention, including the sound of the phone ringing, doorbell, oven or microwave timer, smoke detector, infant crying, or the owner's name being called. Each dog is individually trained to the specific needs of the owner so not all will be taught the exact same set of signals.

Dogs can be trained to react to noises and to alert the owners to what's making the noise. Say if the doorbell rings, or if someone knocks on the door, the dog can nudge the owner and then walk to the door to show where the noise is coming from. Service dogs are individually trained to perform tasks that help their disabled owners overcome the limitations to daily life activities experienced because of their disability. For example, guide dogs help blind owners around obstacles they cannot see. Hearing dogs signal their hearing disabled owners about important sounds like the doorbell, a smoke alarm, or a baby crying. Mobility dogs pick up dropped items for people in wheel chairs who cannot reach them.
