Genetics of Deafness in Dogs Congenital deafness in dogs (or other animals) can be acquired [caused by intrauterine infections, ototoxic drugs like gentamicin, liver disorders, or other toxic exposures before or soon after birth] or inherited. Inherited deafness can be caused by a gene defect that is autosomal dominant, recessive, sex-linked, or may involve multiple genes (more on this later). It is usually impossible to determine the cause of congenital deafness unless a clear problem has been observed in the breed, or carefully planned breedings are performed. In this article I will discuss what is currently known about the genetics of deafness in dogs so that breeders can make the best informed decisions possible when attempting to reduce or eliminate deafness. Congenital deafness has been reported for approximately 80 breeds, with the list growing at a regular rate (see list The prevalence of congenital deafness in different breeds is seldom known because of the limited number of studies (see table list ). It should be noted that a unilaterally deaf dog can be as great a genetic risk for transmission of deafness to its offspring as is a bilaterally deaf dog.

H awaii S ervices O n D eafness is a Hawaii nonprofit organization first chartered in 1974. Its mission is to actively promote the development of conditions that allow deaf and hard-of-hearing people to individually and collectively fulfill their own needs, aspirations, and responsibilities. Our goals are to create strong, long-lasting bridges in communication between the deaf, hard-of-of hearing, and hearing communities, to promote greater understanding and commerce between them, and, eventually, to eliminate communications differences as barriers to participation in any aspect of society. Our board of directors is almost entirely deaf or hard-of-hearing. Thus, our programs and services are responsive to specific needs within the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, and positively impact not only deaf and hard-of-hearing people, but the hearing individuals who live and work with them, as well.

Noise giving columnist contact us questions Dr Earos search sitemap Are there any treatments for tinnitus? Anyone who starts to suffer from tinnitus or suspects their hearing is damaged, should make an appointment to see their family doctor immediately. Usually, the doctor will refer the patient to an audiologist or Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) unit. Here a specialist will be able to rule out more serious middle ear problems and conduct a hearing test to determine whether the problem is linked to a hearing loss. Although tinnitus has no simple 'cure', there are strategies for reducing its impact. Noise generators For most people, tinnitus is no more than a slight annoyance when there is sufficient background noise. For those with mild tinnitus, everyday sounds may mask the tinnitus during the daytime, making it either easier to deal with or completely inaudible. However, tinnitus can become a real problem during quiet times of day, such as before sleep. Many people find relief by adding an external competing sound at a constant low level. Radio static, the television or the hum of a fan might all help to distract from the internal sounds of the tinnitus. Products are also available which will generate white noise specifically to mask the sound of tinnitus, including small speakers which can be placed below the pillow. Behind-the-ear 'white noise' generators (similar to hearing aids in appearance) which produce a low-level hissing are also widely used and are available through the NHS.
