How have the Hearing dogs effected my life?
I don't have a hearing dog or know anyone who has, but my Nana is deaf and I know how hard it is for her. When she is out and about and she asks a question and the person answering talks quitely, she can't hear the answer and it really annoys her. Deaf people miss the simple sounds in life that we take for granted like the oven timer, door bell, the kettle boiling and the phone ringing. A Hearing Dog is trained to alert their owner to these sounds.
