WE WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Australian Lions Hearing Dogs facts

Australian Lions Hearing Dogs

For over 40 years, Australian Lions Hearing Dogs (ALHD) has been providing Australians who are deaf or hard of hearing a set of ‘furry ears’ free of charge. In 2020, ALHD delivered just over 650 Australians a professionally trained Hearing Assistance Dog.  

One in six Australians suffer from some form of hearing loss and this number continues to rise. Currently, more than 400,000 Australians are suffering from severe or profound hearing loss. Factors impacting these difficulties range from our aging population to noise or occupation induced hearing loss. A study from the University of Melbourne states that around 350 children are born with permanent hearing loss each year.  

Hearing difficulties hurt more than just the individuals inflicted, it flows onto their friends and families. This is where Australian Lions Hearing Dogs makes a real difference.
