Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice - Special Issue: Pediatrics - July, 1999 Congenital Deafness and Its Recognition George M. Strain, PhD Professor of Neuroscience, Veterinary Physiology, Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Veterinary Medicine; and Associate Vice Chancellor, Office of Research and Graduate Studies, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 70803 This work was supported by Grant No. 1R15DC01128-01 from the National Institutes of Health and by a grant from the American Kennel Club. George M. Strain, PhD Comparative Biomedical Sciences School of Veterinary Medicine Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, LA 70803 (225) 578-9895 (fax) strain@lsu.edu Synopsis Congenital deafness in dogs and cats is primarily of the hereditary sensorineural form associated with white pigmentation genes, although acquired forms of deafness are possible. Highest prevalence is seen in white cats, especially those with blue eyes, and the Dalmatian, with many other dog breeds affected to some extent. This deafness results from degeneration of the cochlear blood supply at age 3 to 4 weeks, presumably resulting from suppression of melanocytes by the white (cat) or merle or piebald (dog) genes. Mechanism of inheritance is not understood for most breeds. Such animals should not be bred and may present liabilities for their owners. Objective diagnosis of deafness, especially when unilateral, relies on the brain stem auditory evoked response, an electrodiagnostic test where electrical activity in response to a click stimulus is recorded from the scalp using needle electrodes and a special purpose computer. Client counseling guidelines are presented.

Home About Us Practice Areas Workplace Discrimination ... Disability/Medical Discrimination Deafness Deafness WHAT IS DEAFNESS? Deafness refers to a physical condition of a lack of sensitivity to sound. Deafness varies greatly among those with hearing impairments. For example, some individuals only lack hearing in one ear. Others are unable to distinguish tone. Most individuals, however, are able to hear or communicate with others in some manner, usually either through sign language or lip reading. WAYS IN WHICH YOU MIGHT BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF DEAFNESS Your employer does not allow you to miss work for medical appointments Your employer does not accommodate your need to take a reasonable amount of time off of work Your employer will not provide reasonable on-site accommodations for your disability Your employer does not provide a sign language interpreter (and doing so would not place an undue burden on the employer) HOW THE LAW PROTECTS YOU IF YOU ARE DEAF To state a cause of action for disability discrimination, an employee must be disabled, regarded as disabled, or have a record of being disabled. The employee must then show that: his or her disability results in physical limitations that he or she can still perform the essential functions of the job (with or without reasonable accommodations) and that the employer took some adverse action (such as not hiring, firing, or demoting the employee) on the basis of that disability

65. Questions And Answers About Deafness And Hearing Impairments In The Workplace An Jul 26, 2006 According to the CDC, “deaf” individuals do not hear well enough to rely on their hearing to process speech and language. http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/deafness.html

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission July 26, 2006 Questions and Answers about Deafness and Hearing Impairments in the Workplace and the Americans with Disabilities Act Notice Concerning The Americans With Disabilities Act Amendments Act Of 2008 The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Amendments Act of 2008 was signed into law on September 25, 2008 and becomes effective January 1, 2009. Because this law makes several significant changes, including changes to the definition of the term "disability," the EEOC will be evaluating the impact of these changes on this document and other publications. See the list of specific changes to the ADA made by the ADA Amendments Act. INTRODUCTION The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Title I of the ADA covers employment by private employers with 15 or more employees and state and local government employers of the same size. Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act provides the same protections for federal employees and applicants for federal employment. Most states also have their own laws prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of disability. Some of these state laws may apply to smaller employers and provide protections in addition to those available under the ADA. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces the employment provisions of the ADA. This document is part of a question-and-answer series addressing particular disabilities in the workplace. It explains how the ADA might apply to job applicants and employees with hearing impairments, including:

66. Deafness The Herbal Legacy of America's herbology pioneer, Dr. John R. Christopher. Herbal aids for deafness. http://herballegacy.com/Deafness.html

Deafness Definition: Inability to hear clearly. Cause: 1. It has been proven that certain types of drugs, including aspirin, can cause hearing loss. Antibiotics such as kanamycin, dihydrostreptomycin, and gentamycin can contribute to deafness. The side and after effects of inorganic drugs take their toll on the body. This is why we prefer to work with herbs and foods which operate synergistically (in harmony) with the body. [NL 4-6] 2. When a child cannot hear well, it may be from several causes, i.e., injury and concussion, nerve-loss, ears plugged with wax and/or debris. [HHH p.82] Herbal Aids: Dr. Christopher commented that many cases where the person was considered legally deaf, by using this program they were able to hear again. Hundreds of people have thrown their hearing aids away after rebuilding their hearing with this simple program. Marjoram: The juice of Marjoram, both wild and cultivated, dropped into the ears helped deafness, pain, noise, and ringing. [NL 4-6] Ear Candles: The cautious use of "ear candles" can help clear the wax. Ear candles are an old invention. A pointed dowel rod is wrapped with a cotton or linen strip of cloth which has been dipped in melted paraffin wax. The rod should be about 8 inches long and about 3/4ths of an inch thick. When the paraffin hardens, a long, thin, cone-shaped form will result and the dowel rod can be removed. The pointed end of the linen cone is put into the ear canal and the other end is lit. The person should be sitting upright so the wax doesn't drip into the ear. To avoid injury, be sure to put the fire out before the burning candle reaches the head. When the ear candle is removed and unwrapped, it is usually filled with ear wax. The Amish people use these candles and it is a tradition with them. [NL 4-6]

See also: Hearing loss - infants Hearing loss of aging Sensorineural deafness Considerations Minor decreases in hearing are common after age 20. Hearing problems usually come on gradually, and rarely end in complete deafness. There are many causes of hearing loss. Hearing loss can be divided into two main categories: Conductive hearing loss (CHL) occurs because of a mechanical problem in the outer or middle ear. The three tiny bones of the ear (ossicles) may not conduct sound properly, or the eardrum may not vibrate in response to sound. Fluid in the middle ear can cause this type of hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) results when there is a problem with the inner ear. It most often occurs when the tiny hair cells (nerve endings) that transmit sound through the ear are injured, diseased, do not function properly, or have prematurely died. This type of hearing loss is sometimes called "nerve damage," although this is not accurate. CHL is often reversible. SNHL is not. People who have both forms of hearing loss are said to have mixed hearing loss.

77. Deafness What is deafness? Inherited deafness in one or both ears occurs due to the degeneration of sensory inner ear structures (sensorineural deafness) within a few weeks of birth. http://www.upei.ca/~cidd/Diseases/nervous system disorders/deafness.htm

What is deafness? Inherited deafness in one or both ears occurs due to the degeneration of sensory inner ear structures (sensorineural deafness) within a few weeks of birth. This occurs in many breeds and is especially common in the dalmatian. The trait for deafness is tied to the genetics of coat colour, particularly in breeds with the merle or piebald gene. There is an increased risk of deafness with increasing amounts of white in the coat. How is deafness inherited? The mode of inheritance in dalmatians is thought to be autosomal recessive involving more than 1 gene (or incomplete penetrance may be involved), since dogs with normal hearing in both ears can produce bilaterally deaf puppies, and vice versa. Dogs with deafness in 1 ear can have pups that are deaf in both or neither. Statistically however, deaf parents are more likely to produce deaf pups. Dogs with an increased amount of white in their coats and blue eyes (discussed further below) are predisposed to congenital deafness. In breeds in which deafness is associated with merle colour, the trait appears to be autosomal dominant In the bull terrier, Doberman pinscher, pointer and rottweiler, congenital deafness is thought to be an

Post-lingual deafness From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from Post-lingual hearing impairment Jump to: navigation search Post-lingual deafness is a deafness which develops after the acquisition of speech and language, usually after the age of six. Post-lingual hearing impairments are far more common than prelingual deafness . Typically, hearing loss is gradual, and often detected by family and friends of the people so affected long before the patients themselves will acknowledge the disability. Contents Causes Treatment Social impact References ... edit Causes In some cases, the loss is extremely sudden and can be traced to specific diseases, such as meningitis , or to ototoxic medications, such as Gentamicin . In both cases, the final degree of loss varies. Some experience only partial loss, while others become profoundly deaf . Hearing aids and cochlear implants may be used to regain a sense of hearing, with different people experiencing differing degrees of success. It is possible that the affected person may need to rely on speech-reading and/or sign language for communication.

He was born just before the 1964-1965 rubella (also known as German Measles) epidemic. The intrauterine exposure to this virus caused his deafness, which in turn lead him on his own journey through two worlds—one of the deaf and the other of the hearing. During his life, Blair has experienced firsthand the challenges of trying to communicate, understand, and succeed in a hearing world. Michelle, at the age of 12 became acquainted with deaf persons. Through the years she has not only learned the language of the Deaf, but has also been able to accept the culture of the Deaf as her own.
