Cover Story: To investigate the impact of a hearing dog in the life of people with hearing loss, three adults were interviewed. Specific aspects of hearing dogs appear to be associated with increased autonomy and a sense of security. The dog–owner pairing, the outstanding training, and the companion role of the dog were identified as the main elements supporting the high satisfaction reported by all participants. However, challenges for owners were identified in the context of Quebec, Canada, where there is an assumed lack of visibility of hearing dogs as a rehabilitation means. The association between owning a hearing dog and improved overall wellbeing suggests that this form of rehabilitation should be considered a pertinent option by hearing health professionals.
