Deaf Action is a deaf-led charity that supports and celebrates deaf people. We were established in 1835 and work with deaf people across Scotland and the South of England. 

Our work is geared towards empowering all deaf people to achieve their potential and fully participate in society, with equality of rights, access and opportunity.

iHear is our assistive technology service and one of the ways we generate the income that keeps those services running.

We also provide a wide range of other services:

• Edinburgh Deaf Festival
• Youth Service
• EastHill Home for Deaf People
• Interpreting Agency
• BSL Video production
• British Sign Language (BSL) courses
• Deaf Awareness Training
