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.

117. White Cats And Deafness Is deafness linked only to oddeyed white cats? There is an established link between the white coat color, blue eyes and deafness. http://messybeast.com/whitecat.htm

WHITE CATS AND DEAFNESS 2001, Sarah Hartwell A few years back I was asked three related questions on a newsgroup. This article is adapted from my answer. - Are white cats, particularly blue eyed white cats, always deaf or is this an old wives' tale? - Is deafness linked only to odd-eyed white cats? - Some blue-eyed whites aren't deaf - why? There is an established link between the white coat color, blue eyes and deafness. The deafness is linked to the gene for blue-eye(s) and not to odd-eyed cats. Not all blue-eyed whites will be deaf since there are several different genes causing the same physical attributes (whiteness, blue-eyedness) so it all depends on the cat's genotype (its genetic make-up) not its phenotype (its physical appearance). Some people claim that 99% of blue-eyed white cats are deaf. This is inaccurate because blue-eyedness and whiteness can both be caused by different genes. It all depends on what genes the cat has inherited. These are the actual figures from scientific studies around the world. The percentages are given in ranges because results are different in different areas, partly because of the different genes found in the cat population. Where a cat is classed as deaf, the deafness may affect one or both ears. 95% of the general cat population is non-white cats (i.e. not pure white) and congenital deafness is extremely rare in non-white cats.

118. The Auditory Laboratory - University Of Western Australia The laboratory carries out research into hearing and deafness in conjunction with the universities Audiology program. http://www.auditory.uwa.edu.au

The Auditory Laboratory specialises in original research into the physiology of hearing. It is one of Australia's leading research institutions in auditory physiology, having a world-wide reputation established over the past thirty years. Housed in the School of Biomedical and Chemical Sciences at the University of Western Australia , the Auditory Laboratory derives its funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council and from the Australian Research Council. Original research is presented at national and international conferences, and is published in international science journals of high prestige. Deafness is one of the most common forms of impairment in Australia. This laboratory carries out fundamental research into the basic physiological mechanisms underlying normal hearing and deafness, using experimental animals, computer simulations and human subjects. The laboratory consists of two academic staff, four research scientists, and Honours, Masters and PhD students. The Auditory Laboratory is attempting to answer the following broad questions: What are the basic cellular and biophysical mechanisms that determine hearing sensitivity?
