Head over to Milkeshake! and you’ll see ‘Hearing Test’, a new episode of Peppa Pig where George Pig is revealed to have moderate hearing loss in one ear and is fitted with his first hearing aid.
We’re proud to have worked with Hasbro on the development of this storyline, which we know will have such a significant impact for deaf children across the country and beyond.
If you watch this episode and are concerned about your child’s hearing, get in touch with our Helpline where our expert advisors can support you. https://go.ndcs.org.uk/georgepigelsifb
