"Twenty years ago I suffered a head injury in a car accident and gradually started to go deaf. Over time, I could no longer hear the telephone or doorbell and my confidence was nil. When I first met Flint, my hearing dog, it was love at first sight. Now she alerts me to everyday sounds and goes everywhere I go."
