Hearing Dogs for Deaf People transform lives by rebuilding connection, companionship, and confidence. With your help, our expertly trained hearing dogs and peer-led support services mean everyone can live well with hearing loss. Every hearing dog is carefully trained to alert their partner to important and life-saving sounds like the smoke alarm, alarm clock and even the sound of a baby’s cry - helping people to live safely and independently. Our support goes far beyond dogs. Our range of Hearing Link Services provide life-changing practical and emotional support for people with hearing loss, all tailored to people’s individual needs.

We are the national charity supporting more than 18 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.

Founded in 1979 by Howard E. “Rocky” Stone, the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) is the nation’s leading organization representing consumers with hearing loss. The programs and events we offer are designed to focus on you—the person. HLAA strives to give people the tools they need to live more successfully with hearing loss and to show them they do not have to face hearing loss alone. The mission of HLAA is to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss by providing information, education, support and advocacy. Our primary purpose is to educate ourselves, our families, friends, coworkers, teachers, hearing health care providers, industry, government, and others about hearing loss. HLAA provides adults and children with tools for self help; sensitizes the general population about the special needs of people who have hearing loss; and promotes understanding of the nature, causes, complications, and remedies of hearing loss. HLAA provides timely and reliable information about hearing loss through its website (www.hearingloss.org), its seasonal magazine, Hearing Life, the Hearing Life e-News, message boards and chat forums. HLAA holds annual conventions for people with hearing loss and professionals; the HLAA 2024 Convention is in Phoenix, AZ, June 26–29. The Walk4Hearing will take place in 21 cities in 2024 (walk4hearing.org). Find an HLAA Chapter near you at hearingloss.org/find-a-chapter.
