Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss

Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss affects dogs and is an early-onset, inherited hearing disorder.

Affected dogs may present with hearing deficits during the first weeks of life.

By 4 months of age, deafness can be diagnosed by a veterinarian using an brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) testing.

There are no other clinical abnormalities in affected dogs, and they live otherwise normal lives.
