Hearing dogs are trained to act as a support to deaf persons,. They are trained to listen for specific sound around the home, workplace and in public. They will react in a specific way to inform their owner of something they need to be aware of i.e The front door bell be rung, the door being knocked, a fire alarm in the home or workplace.

Hearing Dogs was launched at the world famous Crufts dog show in 1982. Since then they have created over 1,600 life-changing partnerships between deaf people and hearing dogs in the UK alone.

In the USA they are called Dogs For The Deaf.
