Les chiens-guides d'assistance à l'audition aident des personnes sourdes ou ayant des difficultés à entendre des sons qu'ils ne peuvent distinguer par eux-mêmes. On les entraîne à distinguer des sons, faire un contact physique avec leur maître et les guider jusqu'à la source du son; ce peut être quelqu'un qui sonne à la porte, le réveille-matin ou le téléphone qui sonne. 2, record 1, French, - chien%20d%27assistance%20%C3%A0%20l%27audition
