🧡 Happy National Hearing Dog Day! 🧡
Today, we celebrate the incredible Hearing Assistance Dogs that bring independence, confidence, and companionship to Australians who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Join us in recognising their life-changing impact! 🎉
To close out National Hearing Dog Day, we’re proud to share the final story in our series—Dawn and Earnest. After living with hearing loss for more than 40 years, Dawn finally took the step to apply for a Hearing Assistance Dog. From the moment Earnest entered her life, everything began to change.
Whether it’s alerting her to the oven timer, doorbell, or her grandson’s voice, or giving her the confidence to reconnect with everyday life—like food shopping, medical appointments, and community events—Earnest has given Dawn a renewed sense of independence.
“Earnest means everything to me. I am so thankful that he came into my life.”
This life-changing partnership was made possible thanks to the generous support of Specsavers Australia, who proudly sponsored Earnest through his entire journey—from playful pup to fully accredited Hearing Assistance Dog. Their support has helped give Dawn greater confidence, safety, and connection.
