About us

Deafness Research UK exists to secure radical improvements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all forms of hearing impairment.

Ultimately, our aim is to find cures for these distressing and neglected disabilities.

We are dedicated to helping deaf and hard of hearing people through medical research. We are a source of accurate scientific information on deafness, tinnitus and hearing loss and offer expert support to the parents of deaf children.

Set up in 1985 by the late Jack and Pauline Ashley, Deafness Research UK (The Hearing Research Trust) remains the UK's only national charity dedicated to helping deaf and hard of hearing people through medical research and education.
