It aims to provide accessible content for deaf and hard of hearing viewers, while also educating the wider public about deafness and hearing loss.

History[edit | edit source]

See Hear was launched in response to the growing demand for television programming that was accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing community. Since its inception, the programme has evolved to include a wide range of topics relevant to its audience.

The programme covers a variety of subjects, including the latest developments in hearing aid technology, interviews with prominent figures within the deaf community, and features on deaf culture and arts. See Hear also reports on legislative changes affecting the deaf and hard of hearing, and provides educational segments designed to inform viewers about sign language and deaf history.

Impact[edit | edit source]

See Hear has been instrumental in advocating for the rights and recognition of the deaf community in the UK. It has provided a platform for deaf individuals to share their stories and experiences, and has contributed to the wider understanding and acceptance of deafness and hearing loss. The programme's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility has made it a valuable resource for those seeking information and support related to deaf issues.
