Sound Seekers
Sound Seekers (formally known as the Commonwealth Society for the Deaf) is a British charity which works to improve the lives of deaf children and children suffering from ear disease in the developing countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. It provides specialist equipment, training and support to some of the poorest countries of the world, where people with the 'hidden disability' of deafness may otherwise not receive the help they need.
==History==
Sound Seekers, formerly known as The Commonwealth Society for the Deaf, sprang from humble beginnings in 1959, initiated by Lady Templer, the wife of the Governor of Malaya (now Malaysia), whose time there inspired her to assemble a group of ENT surgeons, audiologists, and educators of the deaf. She convinced them to travel back with her to Malaysia to offer their help to children affected by hearing loss and ear disease.The first thirty years of the organisation's existence saw it operate at a comparatively low level of activity, carrying out focused pieces of research into deafness and sending small working groups of volunteers overseas to provide several weeks of practical assistance per year. Sound Seekers are now a well-established international NGO, and one of the few in the sector to be working internationally to help sufferers of hearing loss, with the aim of building capacity of the countries we work in to deal with hearing loss in the future.
