Smiling deaf manChances are you, or someone you know, will be faced with deafness or hearing loss now or in the near future. Almost one in four adult Canadians reports some hearing loss, although closer to 10% of people actually identify themselves as culturally Deaf, oral deaf, deafened, or hard of hearing. 

Other important facts and figures:
  • According to Statistics Canada, the average age in Canada is 39 years; by 2030 it will be 45 years
  • In 2030, Canadians 65 years and older will represent 25% of the total population, nearly double their current 13% 

Couple these projections with the fact that aging is the #1 cause of hearing loss, and the conclusion is clear: the incidence of hearing loss is set to climb dramatically.  The demand for CHS services is poised to grow in equal measure.

Smiling deaf baby. That’s why we need your support: to ensure that the many programs we offer are here to serve you when you need them.

Building bridges between the hearing world and deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people since 1940, CHS now offers 17 different programs through 26 offices.

Your donation today will ensure that those we serve will be able to make informed choices and live more connected lives.

There are so many ways you can support deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people.

Please contact us if you have any questions.
