Wounds Deafness 11 Sound Coping Tips A Rodale Press contribution Your dog doesn't raise an ear when the doorbell rings or you call her name. Your cat seems oblivious to most noises even the whir of the electric can opener. Now the vet has confirmed your fears: Your pet isn't stubborn or sick. She's deaf. Some dogs and cats are born deaf. Others lose their hearing with age or because of injuries or chronic ear infections. Fortunately, with a little extra care, many pets that are partially or even totally deaf will do just fine. "They're remarkably adaptive," says Michael Moore, D.V.M., chief of small animal medicine at the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Pullman. To help your pet deal with deafness, listen to the advice of these experts. For Dogs and Cats Give her a leash on life. A leash can literally be your deaf pet's lifeline, says Janis H. Audin, D.V.M., editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association in Schaumburg, Illinois. "Never let a deaf pet roam around outside. Always take her on a leash," she says. "They can't hear traffic or predators, and they can end up in real trouble." Practice patience.

About Deafness About Deaf Culture Communication Information Kits The Meaning of Deaf There are two approaches to defining deafness. One based on a cultural/linguistic view and one based on a medical view. The word Deaf spelt with a capital D denotes a culture and a community. This description of deafness is most commonly applied to those who are deaf at birth or in very early childhood. The use of sign language as one's first language is the principal characteristic of people who identify with this culture and community. With a small d, deaf refers simply to hearing loss - e.g. deaf children means children with impaired hearing who may not yet have had contact with the Deaf community. The medical view is based on a condition of a lack of hearing in the range of sound common to most people. Words such as profound, severe, moderate hearing loss are used to show how much a person's hearing differs from the general range. Terms such as hearing impaired can be used to describe people who have hearing loss but who do not choose to be part of the Deaf community.

Site Contents English Setter Rescue Back to Seaville Setters The Gallery Homepage Deafness in English Setters No Problem! Within the breed there is a fair percentage of deaf English Setters born every year. There are divided views as to what should happen to these dogs! Some would say that they should be put to sleep - so as to end any further suffering. At the time of writing this we have a deaf Setter called Zoë who is thirteen. She came to us several years ago through are involvement with English Setter Rescue. Again, through the Rescue we have just placed two deaf puppies into homes that believe - as we do that being deaf is not a good enough reason to end their life! This story and all the photographs which accompany it come from one lady who now has deaf English Setters - and 1 hearing Setter. In her own words she has had more trouble from Bracken, the hearing one, than all the rest put together. Tarn's Story When Tarn came to live with us in July 1997 we already had a deaf Setter called Ghyll - by then Ghyll aged nine had life sorted out to just the way he liked it! Tarn Ghyll Tarn was given the nickname 'Tarn the Terminator' which will give you some idea of the type of puppy he was. In typical puppy fashion he tackled everything - radiators, cooker, car interior, shrubs and plants. He was a little terror but also intelligent and soon began to learn the hand signals we use. We also use facial expressions plenty of smiles when he's right, blank expression if you aren't pleased and a really stern face when he's really out of line.

Feature Deafness and Hearing Problems By Dr Trisha Macnair Cochlea turns vibration into electrical signals Many causes for hearing problems Noise as a cause of hearing loss ... Fighting for rights The government last year announced that every newborn baby in the UK will have a hearing test within 48 hours of birth ( BBC News ). 13 out of every 1000 children are born deaf or develop deafness when they are very young, (4 out of the 13 are profoundly deaf). But until now, many of these children have gone undetected for years, missing out on the chance for help during vital periods in their language and communication development. Cochlea turns vibration into electrical signals While the external parts of our ear act like trumpets to collect sound, it is an organ known as the cochlea deep within the inner ear in the skull which is responsible for converting the mechanical vibration of sound into electrical signals which can be detected by the brain. See this beautiful snail-like organ and find out how it works at http://oto.wustl.edu/cochlea/intro1.htm

Sharon Duchesneau and Candy McCullough, who have both been deaf since birth, were turned down by a series of sperm banks they approached looking for a donor suffering from congenital deafness. The couple, who have been together for eight years, then approached a family friend who was totally deaf, and had five generations of deafness in his family. He donated sperm which was used to impregnate Sharon Duchesneau. A hearing baby would be a blessing. A deaf baby would be a special blessing Sharon Duchesneau, before the birth Baby Gauvin McCullough is now four-months-old, and has a slight amount of hearing in one ear. The couple have said they will let him decide when he is older if he wants to wear a hearing aid.

About Hearing Loss Surveillance Activities Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Research Activities ... NCBDDD Home About hearing loss FACT: About 1-2 in every 1,000 U.S. children has a moderate to severe hearing loss in both ears. For many of these children, the cause of the loss is unknown. The age of a child when a hearing loss is diagnosed is crucial to the development of the child’s speech, language, cognitive, and psychosocial abilities. Treatment is most successful if the hearing loss is identified early—through newborn screening done during the first few months of life. Newborn hearing screening costs about $30 per child and takes about 9 minutes to do. Costs are much higher if a hearing loss is not diagnosed until later in life. In the 1995-1996 school year, the total U.S. costs for special education programs for children who were deaf or hard of hearing exceeded $375 million. We also know that one in every four children with a serious congenital hearing loss does not have his or her hearing loss diagnosed until age 3 years or older. One in every four children with a hearing loss was born weighing less than 2500 grams (about 5½ pounds), and about one in every three has one or more other developmental disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, or vision impairment.
