Canadian Hearing Society information


Canadian Hearing Services was founded in 1940 to provide services for deaf and hard of hearing people in Ontario. Services include instruction in American and Quebec sign languages, interpreter services, deafblind intervenors, audiology and speech–language pathology.[1] The CHS (Canadian Hearing Services) advocates for the hearing impaired in Canada through the support of 9-1-1 texting,[2] visual fire alarms,[3] and access to the justice system.[4] The CHS handles emergency situations in hospitals, emergency rooms, after-hours clinics, shelters, and police services.[5]
