Have you ever thought your life could be dramatically improved by the presence of a hearing dog who can alert you to sounds, accompany you to public places and become a constant companion?

Regardless of your degree of hearing loss, personal requirements or circumstances, you can get in touch with our application team to talk through your options.

Applying for a hearing dog is easy and we provide each and every hearing dog applicant with one-to-one support through every step of the process. You can also get in touch with our team if you’re thinking of applying for a hearing dog for a deaf friend or loved one.

At Hearing Dogs we help every puppy reach its full potential. This is why we carefully breed and support them through every step of their upbringing and training. 

Every dog is different – and no two puppies learn in the same way. They all have their own individual strengths and characters which we work really hard to develop and build upon. Although we aim for all our dogs-in-training to become registered assistance dogs, some of them take a different but equally important and life-changing path.

Similarly, deafness does not affect any two people in the same way. Everyone has different needs and expectations of how a dog can help them. This is why, when a dog in training is not quite suited to being a full hearing dog, we have a number of roles that would better suit them.

The three types of dogs we provide are:

Full hearing dog (with a jacket and full assistance dog access rights, for deaf people who need sound support both inside and outside of the home.

Sound support dog (for people who need sound support in the home but not when out and about).

Confidence and companion dog (for people who don't require support with sounds but would benefit from emotional support and companionship because of their deafness).
