Has someone with hearing difficulties been an inspiration to you?

The Sound Barrier Star Awards is a joint initiative between Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and Specsavers Hearing Centres to find the nation’s heroes who are hard of hearing or deaf.

The awards are an opportunity for you to nominate yourself or someone you know and admire who has achieved inspiring feats, despite the challenges that come with impaired hearing.

Ten regional winners will be selected from around the country and, from these, five will be chosen to attend the prestigious national final in London in August 2012.
