Charities
We believe it is important to help the hard of hearing community and are committed to doing so both in the UK and around the World.
Through our range of flagship projects we hope to make an important difference to the lives of people with hearing problems.
Over many years we have supported a range of initiatives in Africa and other developing regions – including the Sound Seekers’ HARK project – which regularly benefit from our donations of hearing aid batteries and accessories.
We’re also proud supporter of the Hearing Dogs charity in the UK and are working closely with Germany’s biggest hearing charity the Deutshcen Schwerhorigenbundes (DSB).
- > Hearing Dogs For Deaf People Hearing dogs change lives. They alert their deaf owners to sounds we take for granted, providing greater independence, confidence and security. Most are selected from rescue centres or donated as unwanted pets.
Rayovac support Hearing Dogs by means of:
- Pack donations
- Spreading information about the charity
- Fund raising
- Public relations events
- Each year Rayovac hope to raise enough money to fund the training of one hearing dog

- > Sound SeakersSound Seekers provide specialist equipment, training and support to work to improve the lives of deaf children and children suffering from ear disease in developing countries of the Commonwealth. Their important work involves setting up “HARK!” mobile clinics to diagnose and treat hearing problems.
Rayovac support Sound Seekers by giving battery donations and promoting Sound Seekers through PR. Further details are available at www.sound-seekers.org.uk.
- > DSB GermanyThe DSB is one of the biggest and strongest associations for deaf people in Germany.
For over 100 years they have helped deaf people with their hearing needs as well as represent their social, medical, technical and legal interests. Rayovac is proud to have a strong commitment with the DSB and donates money for every ProLine battery sold in Germany to support their work.
