Working together
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People works collaboratively, partnering with other organisations such as healthcare providers and policymakers to ensure the voices of those we support are represented.
We strive to influence positive change by advocating for the needs and rights of people with hearing loss, promoting greater understanding and inclusion. Through these efforts, we aim to create a more accessible and supportive environment for everyone.
We also collaborate with professionals in the hearing care and healthcare sectors to provide useful resources, lived experience knowledge and guidance on important hearing loss topics.

Our membership within the Alliance enables us to remain connected to the challenges impacting the lives of people with hearing loss or deafness, as well as allowing us to share our audiences lived experience to catalyse change in awareness, and influence policy and practice.

The Cross-Party Group on Deafness acts as a channel of communication between the Scottish Parliament and individuals living with hearing loss. It works closely with 33 member organisations, including Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, to represent the views of those they support and work on behalf of.
Working with hearing care professionals
If you work in the hearing care and healthcare sectors, you will know that the demands on your time are significant.
We understand that to live well with hearing loss, a variety of different interventions and support, ranging from clinical care through to practical and emotional support and information, may be required.
We have created resources which aid those looking for help from our charity. These include information, guidance, and access to shared experiences - which we know can be helpful.
Browse our resources below and use them with your patients, colleagues, and employees.
