85. Genetics Of Deafness In Dogs Article describing the congenital deafness in dogs. http://www.lsu.edu/deafness/genetics.htm

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, mitochondrial, 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 85 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.

Deafness By: George M. Strain, PhD What is the BAER test? By: George M. Strain, PhD The hearing test known as the brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) or brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) detects electrical activity in the cochlea and auditory pathways in the brain in much the same way that an antenna detects radio or TV signals or an EKG detects electrical activity of the heart. The response waveform consists of a series of peaks numbered with Roman numerals: peak I is produced by the cochlea and later peaks are produced within the brain. The response from an ear that is deaf is an essentially flat line. In the sample recordings shown below Puppy 1 heard in both ears, Puppy 2 was deaf in the left ear, Puppy 3 was deaf in the right ear, and Puppy 4 was deaf in both ears.

Communication Choices Books Deaf Educators For Parents AN Stories Jake's Journey Elijah's Story Lagniappe Tips for Professionals Sturge-Weber Community Hearing Exchange Testing ... Email This website was developed in an effort to provide access to information about Auditory Neuropathy to the parents of children diagnosed with this unusual hearing disorder. Auditory Neuropathy, referred to as AN, is a confusing diagnosis that has sparked conflict among professionals in the field of audiology. Because AN is not a typical hearing loss it is misunderstood by many audiologists, speech language pathologists, and teachers of the deaf. Many parents of children diagnosed with AN have received conflicting information and advice about diagnosis, management, and recommendations as to which mode of communication they should use with their children. Hearing aid use with AN is a heavily debated topic among professionals in the field. Some facilities have chosen to use hearing aids with AN children with limited success. There is current research stating that hearing aids are useful if about 50% of the cases but again, this is disputed among professionals. There is also professional disagreement over the use of cochlear implants in patients with AN. As the number of successfully implanted AN children grows, there are more and more referrals for cochlear implantation evaluations being made. Seminars for audiologists are being held throughout the country to promote and encourage understanding of the disorder and it's management.

Newswatch Last Updated: Friday, 13 June, 2003, 16:47 GMT 17:47 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version Single Sided Deafness Deafness in one ear can be a major problem Single Sided Deafness (SSD) is the complete hearing loss in one ear. It is thought to affect at least 9,000 new people in the UK each year, with the most common cause being sudden deafness. For many people, SSD has a particularly disabling and debilitating impact on work, home and social interaction. Despite treatment options being available, many patients do not receive treatments owing to a lack of GP and public awareness of this condition. What is Single Sided Deafness? SSD, or unilateral hearing loss, refers to total hearing loss in one ear - the other ear can have perfect hearing. It occurs when sounds cannot reach the working inner ear (cochlea), or when sounds reach the inner ear perfectly, but due to inner ear damage are not turned in to neural impulses which are sent to the brain. It is estimated that over 9,000 new cases are diagnosed every year, indicating that at any one time tens of thousands of Britons are affected by this condition.

The proportion of people who are born with profound hearing loss has doubled over the past 200 years. Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University in the United States have traced the increase back to the introduction of sign language in the early 1800s. They say the introduction of sign language allowed people who are deaf to communicate with each other more easily. They say it also led to many more people with hearing loss marrying. At least 85% of individuals with profound deafness marry another deaf person Professor Walter Nance The researchers believe the decision of so many people with inherited hearing loss to marry has been behind the increase in deafness rates. Gene mutations More than 100 genes are involved in hearing loss. As a result, most people who are deaf have children with normal hearing because they pass on different genes.

What Causes Otosclerosis? ... Where Can I Get Additional Information? What is otosclerosis? Otosclerosis is the abnormal growth of bone of the middle ear. This bone prevents structures within the ear from working properly and causes hearing loss. For some people with otosclerosis, the hearing loss may become severe. Top How do we hear? Hearing is a series of events in which the ear converts sound waves into electrical signals and causes nerve impulses to be sent to the brain where they are interpreted as sound. The ear has three main parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear. Sound waves enter through the outer ear and reach the middle ear, where they cause the ear drum to vibrate. The vibrations are transmitted through three tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles. These three bones are named the malleus, incus, and stapes (and are also known as the hammer, anvil, and stirrup). The ear drum and ossicles carry the vibrations to the inner ear. The stirrup transmits the vibrations through the oval window and into the fluid that fills the inner ear. The vibrations move through fluid in the snail-shaped hearing part of the inner ear ( cochlea ) that contains the hair cells. The fluid in the cochlea moves the top of the hair cells, which initiates the changes that lead to the production of the nerve impulses. These nerve impulses are carried to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound. Different sounds stimulate different parts of the inner ear, allowing the brain to distinguish among various sounds, for example, different vowel and consonant sounds.
