Hear For You is a place teenagers can hang out among deaf peers, have fun and make friends.
More than 83% of deaf children and adolescents attend mainstream schools where they are often the sole hearing impaired student in the class or even the school. Others have challenges at work.
At Hear For You young adults who are successful in academia, business and sport and have grown up with deafness act as mentors. Kate Locke is one, along with Olivia Andersen, David Brady, Dave Carter (who has bilateral cochlear implants), Nick Doyle, Lizzie Eakin and Rania Saab.
Hear For You also has a group of inspirational speakers who use cochlear implants or hearing aids including Prof. Jennie Brand-Miller, Heather Cook, David Herridge, James Kelly, Holly McDonnel and Daniel O’Halloran.
