Welcome to Sound Seekers
We are a registered UK Charity working to improve the lives of deaf children and children suffering from ear disease in the developing countries of the Commonwealth.
More than 120 million people around the world – half of whom are children – suffer from preventable hearing impairment. Seven out of ten deaf children live in the developing world, with no access to basic hearing assessment, treatment, medicines or even transport to enable them to reach whatever limited local facilities there are.
Sound Seekers (also known as the Commonwealth Society for the Deaf) works to improve the lives of deaf children and children suffering from ear disease in developing countries. We provide specialist equipment, training and support to local partner organisations (mainly hospitals, clinics and schools ) based in some of the poorest countries of the world, where people with the ‘hidden disability’ of deafness may otherwise not receive the help they so desperately need.
