\nonly pets or do well with other animals in the home–it’s a myth that
\na deaf pet “needs” a hearing companion to function successfully. Deaf
\nanimals bark, meow, whinny, and make all the regular sounds their
\nhearing counterparts make. They can be taught sign language commands
\nand are fully trainable. The only real caveat in adopting a deaf pet
\nis that it should never be allowed to roam freely outdoors unless it
\nis in a securely fenced enclosure, since they cannot hear cars or
\nother dangers approaching.<\/p>\n

\nacquired through trauma, drug reactions, or old age. Deafness is more
\ncommon in white animals, though any animal can be deaf. Some breeds,
\nsuch as Dalmatians and Boxers, are more prone to deafness than others.
\nThirty percent of all Dalmatians born are either unilaterally deaf
\n(deaf in one ear) or bilaterally deaf (deaf in both ears). Some deaf
\nanimals also have albinism, meaning that they lack normal melanin
\npigment in their eyes, nose, or skin, though not every albino animal
\nis deaf. Deafness is also sometimes accompanied by other medical
\nissues such as blindness or low vision.<\/p>\n

\nis a wonderful resource written by Strain, a professor of
\nneuroscience at LSU’s veterinary school. This site lists common breeds
\nof dogs and cats affected by deafness, hearing frequency ranges for
\ndifferent species, causes of sudden onset of deafness, and a
\ncomprehensive list of where to get the brainstem auditory evoked
\npotential (BAER) test done. The BAER test is the most accurate
\nmeasurement of hearing in animals, and is the same test given to
\ninfant humans.<\/p>\n
