Why support Hearing Dogs for Deaf People?
Nearly 9 million people in the UK experience some hearing loss. This represents approximately one in seven of the adult UK population. Learning to live with deafness can be a devastating experience. Many people say they lost their sense of security, confidence and independence when they lost their hearing. Deafness is an invisible disability and can lead to isolation and loneliness as people withdraw, finding it increasingly hard to communicate.
