What Is a Piebald Dachshund? The Deaf Dog Education Action Fund cites the piebald pattern as one of the patterns predisposed to potential deafness. Nonpigmented skin in the inner ear produces white hair that often dies off in the first few weeks of life, leaving the dog deaf. There's no way to tell what color the inner ear pigment is.

Some children who are born deaf recover from their deafness There are two causes of congenital deafness among children. One is the lack of hair cells, receptors in the inner ear that convert sounds into pulse signals that activate the auditory nerve. The second cause is a malfunction of the nerves. A child may be born with what appears to be a normal inner ear, but the hair cells do not communicate with the auditory nerves and the child cannot hear. To date, doctors have recommended the same treatment for all children born deaf.

Deafness Caused by Disease Deafness Caused by Disease. There are varying reasons a person may be diagnosed with deafness. Some people are born deaf while others obtain hearing loss due to affliction with disease. Many members of the deaf community had hearing at one point, only to lose it later in life. Some of the most prevalent diseases known to cause deafness include meningitis, Ménière's Disease, Alport Syndrome, rubella, and mumps. There are two main causes of deafness, these are congenital and acquired. Congenital hearing loss is present at birth while acquired hearing loss occurs after birth.

Causes of Sudden Onset of Deafness Also, no-longer-available ear cleaning solutions containing chlorhexidine and a variety of less common chemicals can cause deafness (see G.M. Strain: Aetiology, prevalence and diagnosis of deafness in dogs and cats.. British Veterinary Journal 152:17-36, 1996). Concurrent conditions, such as an on-going infection or topical steroids, may increase penetration of a topical agent into the inner ear, increasing its toxicity. Recovery after hearing loss does not occur. • General anesthesia may cause bilateral deafness from unknown causes. In rare cases, animals awaken from anesthesia deaf in both ears, often following ear cleaning or teeth cleaning.

Causes and Preventing Dog Ear Infections Infections – Infections are caused by the invasion and replication of microorganisms. Yeast and bacterial ear infections are especially common in dogs. Infections often occur in dogs with long droopy ears and in those living in hot, humid environments. Outer ear infections can move into the middle and inner ear. Aural Hematomas-Secondary ear problems can develop if the underlying cause of an ear disorder is not addressed. Most dogs with irritated ears scratch and shake their heads to try and relieve itchiness and discomfort.

A to Z List of Neurological Disorders Hearing loss, or deafness, can be present at birth (congenital), or become evident later in life (acquired). The distinction between acquired and congenital deafness specifies only the time that the deafness appears. It does not specify whether the cause of the deafness is genetic (inherited). Acquired deafness may or may not be genetic. For example, it may be a manifestation of a delayed-onset form of genetic deafness. Alternatively, acquired deafness may be due to damage to the ear due to noise or from other conditions.
