Nick Doyle ~ Biography
Diagnosed as profoundly deaf when only a few months old. Both of his parents and older brother are hearing and Nick credits his family to helping him get to where he is today.
At a young age, his parents were advised that Nick should learn sign language to help him communicate and to give him the best chance in life. With determination and foresight from his parents and speech therapists, Nick learnt to speak and lip read and went to mainstream schools throughout his entire education.
Nick says, ‘It was a struggle in my later years at school as the support from the local authority was less than when I was younger. It seemed that once I had gone onto secondary school, it was almost as if they thought their job was finished. In fact, I needed them more than ever.’
This is a stage where Nick believes Hear For You can step in and guide hearing impaired teenagers with support and advice that he wished he had had 20 years ago.
Nick is English and moved to Melbourne two years ago with his wife, who has normal hearing, in search of a wonderful lifestyle that Australia offers - a decision that neither of them has regretted. He is looking forward to working with Hear For You.
Nick’s motto is: Just Do It! ("Okay, I stole that one from Nike!")
