It is estimated that about 5 to 10 percent of dogs in the United States suffer from deafness, either in one ear (unilateral) or both ears (bilateral). But most dogs with hearing issues cope well with their disability, are very trainable, and can even go on to compete in dog sports.
The thought of living with or adopting a deaf dog can seem a bit daunting, but the truth is, living with a dog that is deaf is not all that different from living with any other dog. Of course, there are changes that you will need to make in your daily interactions, but once you and your dog know how to communicate with one another, you can lead a normal, happy life together!
