Thank you for helping me to raise funds for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People by running the Cambridge Half Marathon. Here is a short description of the work they do:

Nearly nine million of the UK population experience some degree of hearing loss. That's one person in every seven. Over 650,000 of these people could benefit from a hearing dog.

We train dogs to respond to specific sounds which hearing people often take for granted, such as the alarm clock, doorbell, baby cry, telephone and smoke alarm.

Instead of barking, the dogs alert the deaf person by touch, using a paw to gain attention and then lead them back to the sound source. For sounds such as the smoke alarm and fire alarm, the dogs will lie down to indicate danger.
