I am ear for you
You miss a knock on the door. You don’t hear your baby crying in the next room. You can’t follow conversations, so you withdraw from social situations and feel isolated. Your safety is at risk because you can’t hear the smoke alarm going off.
But our expert hearing dogs and practical and emotional support services are ‘ear’ for them.
“After years of barely leaving the house, I’m now out walking with my hearing dog Penny every day. With her by my side, I feel more confident because people see her hearing dog jacket and know that I’m deaf. She’s my missing piece, my best friend.” - (Corrine who has hearing dog Penny)
Deaf Awareness Week
To coincide with the launch of Deaf Awareness Week, you’ll be seeing Tia, Elton, Teddy and more in billboards around the UK throughout May showcasing how they are ‘ear’ for people experiencing deafness, hearing loss and tinnitus. It’s vital that everyone understands the impact millions of people are facing every day, and how we can all be ‘ear’ for someone.
