Dogs for Deaf and Hard of Hearing

A Hearing Ear Dog is trained to assist a person who is deaf or hard of hearing by alerting them to specific sounds in his or her environment.  A Hearing Ear Dog can be trained to respond to the sounds of an alarm clock, door knock, doorbell, smoke alarm, oven timer, person's name being spoken, car horn, sirens and more.

The dog can accompany his master into all places of public accommodation, ride on all public transportation and live in any type of public housing.
