We actually dont really need a hearing dog because we have the advanced technology now like flashing light phone, flashing light doorbell, flashing light fire/ smoke alarm and etc etc as you name it.

Okay now, The dogs have their sharp senses that a person is deaf and protect her/him. Thats a very strong instinct that it has been a very natural feelings. Dog knows it very quickly.

I was raised on a farm when I was a little girl. I didnt have any Deaf accessories at that time except Hearing Aid device / batteries (rme). At that time, I was not functionally hearing and I am still not functionally hearing in today's . Keep that in your mind.

I loved dogs very much.

1. Someone knocked the door meanwhile he jumped off the floor and ran to the door so I know someone is there or it might be nobody whatever a dog heard something.

2. I was being a good mischievous gal with my dog. I was making a noise as I just wanted to see if he hear something and get the right direction that the sound comes from. He knew where the sound comes from. Thats when I had learned to love and bond with my dogs because those dogs and I have a great communication with body language / facial expression that relates to ASL without my knowledge at that time. Also, I had seen a dog to understand a person who signed ASL to it. Thats when it hits me hard and realized it a while ago and wish I could have ASL thats work so well at that time.

3. One dog from my neighborhood, it was so afraid of me because of my deafness. I was shocked at that dog. I tried to pat him meanwhile he doesn't want me to touch him. I respect that. Thats what I realized it now from the past.

4. My mom called for me from outside that my dog did guiding me to the house. It was not even close to my house because I knew mom wanted me to come in the house. Wow, I never thought of it myself until someone brought up about a hearing dog few years ago.

5. I find this is real interesting that I was talking to someone who had a dog and lived on the farm.. She said her dog knew where she was at meanwhile her mom followed the dog.

Now you see what I am saying. Those dogs are so amazing that doesnt really need to train.. I rather to follow up with their natural instinct since it s somewhat free training cost I am not paying for them ( I ll tell you why later). Something that we deafies can teach in appropriate behavior ourselves that is no big deal. We can do it ourselves.

Thats why I dont feel like I am too disabled as you think it is disability on deafness.. I m really confused with you people who cried out about * Deafness is not disability. Thats the whole point here that it strikes me hard. Now u want a hearing dog because u are legally deaf. AHEM!!! ...
