Learning About Assisted Hearing For The Deaf By Liam Powers-Ginter

Dogs help humans overcome hearing obstacles. For example, hearing dogs help people that are deaf. Many  people wonder what hearing dogs do for people that are deaf. The hearing dogs help around the house with every day tasks. For some children, sounds like fire alarms, door bells, someone knocking, and daily skills. In public, dogs wear a vest to let people know that the person walking the dog is deaf. The most important thing a hearing dog provides in public is an  increased awareness of his or her environment.

Training hearing dog normally takes 4 to 6 months. Humans will train the dog to alert the person about different kinds of sounds. When the dogs get placed with there they learn to hear for the human, and respond to sounds like the  microwave or the dishwasher.  Hearing dogs can be taught to alert people to any repetitive sound that can be set up and practiced regularly.
