Congenital Deafness Return to OtoNeurology Education Index Return to hearing page Please read our Goto online hearing screener (Handtronix site) Search this site Last updated 7/2001 While acquired deafness associated with age or noise exposure more common than genetic deafness by roughly 2 orders of magnitude, congenital deafness occurs in 1 per every 1000-2000 births with autosomal recessive inheritance being the most common form (more than 75%). Non-inherited abnormalities of the inner ear such as the Mondini malformation, account for roughly 20% of congenital sensorineural deafness. The bulk of the remaining, genetic deafness is non-syndromic, meaning that it does not have any obvious distinguishing features. Non-syndromic (80% of congenital deafness): About 80% of genetic hearing loss is non-syndromic. Between 1992 and 2001, 38 loci for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness have been mapped and 11 genes have been cloned. Autosomal dominant locii are called DFNA, autosomal recessive as DFNB, and X-linked as DFN. An update on current locii can be found on the hereditary hearing loss homepage , which is hosted by the University of Iowa. Non-syndromic deafness is highly heterogeneous but mutations in the connexin-26 molecule (gap junction protein, gene GJB2) account for about 49% of patients with non-syndromic deafness and about 37% of sporadic cases. Assays for connexin-26 are commercially available at s

The mission of Cincinnati Children's Center for Hearing and Deafness Research receives impetus from the observation that as many as one out of every 2,000 children born in the United States will demonstrate a moderate or worse hearing loss, making congenital hearing loss one of the most common birth defects in the U.S. In Ohio alone, 450 to 500 children will be born each year with such a handicapping hearing loss. Of these congenitally deaf children, approximately 50 percent will have a genetic / hereditary basis to their deafness. Therefore, the study of genes involved in hearing and deafness is crucial to our understanding and care of children with handicapping hearing loss.

129. Dalmatian Club Of America Position On Dalmatian Deafness The Dalmatian Club of America Position on Dalmatian deafness For further information, please contact Carol Chase. Return to the deafness Information Page. http://www.thedca.org/deaf1.html

The Dalmatian Club of America Position on Dalmatian Deafness From the Board of Governors of the Dalmatian Club of America With the rising popularity of the Dalmatian breed, there has been a rapid increase in the number of deaf Dalmatian pups showing up in homes, pet shops and Humane Societies across the country. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. Deafness is NOT uncommon in Dalmatians. It has been estimated that from 10% to 12% of the breed is deaf. Recent discoveries in the genetics of deafness have made it possible to reduce the incidence of deafness, with the possibility of virtually eliminating it in the future. Hearing research is currently being financed by the Dalmatian Club of America, various regional Dalmatian clubs and interested individuals. However, for the time being, it is important that deaf pups be dealt with in a responsible and HUMANE fashion. Responsible breeders NEVER knowingly sell, place or give away deaf pups to pet homes. Deaf pups should ALWAYS be humanely destroyed by a veterinarian. In the event that a deaf pup is inadvertently placed, it should be replaced with a hearing pup. Many breeders have their deaf pups put down at three to four weeks, though some choose to wait a few weeks longer. Dalmatian pups normally start to hear at fourteen to sixteen days of age, and hear by five weeks of age if they are going to hear. The deaf pups which are showing up in unsuspecting homes, pet shops and Humane Societies are generally bred by either "commercial breeders" (puppy mills) or by inexperienced Dalmatian owners who are unaware of deafness in the breed, are unable to identify deaf pups or are unwilling to have them put down. NO ONE should consider raising a litter of Dalmatians without being prepared to deal responsibly with any resulting deaf puppies.

Organizations Forums Learning and Other Disabilities Related Articles General Information about Severe and/or Multiple Disabilities A Guide to Children's Literature and Disability Definition The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), formerly the Education of the Handicapped Act (P.L. 94-142), includes "hearing impairment" and "deafness" as two of the categories under which children with disabilities may be eligible for special education and related service programming. While the term "hearing impairment" is often used generically to describe a wide range of hearing losses, including deafness, the regulations for IDEA define hearing loss and deafness separately. Hearing impairment is defined by IDEA as "an impairment in hearing, whether permanent or fluctuating, that adversely affects a child's educational performance." Deafness is defined as "a hearing impairment that is so severe that the child is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplification."

The debate over the best way to teach a child with a hearing loss to communicate has raged since the 1500s (Winefield, 1987). Although this debate continues today, there is a growing number of individuals who recognize that no one system of communication is right for all children. The choice of a communication system must be made on an individual basis, taking into consideration the characteristics of the child, the resources available, and the commitment of an individual family to a communication method. Additional ERIC digests explore each of these options in depth. As an orientation, the following definitions are useful: The Auditory-Verbal philosophy is a set of guiding principles for early intervention that are used to support the development of residual (remaining) hearing and speech and that focus on a strong development of listening skills (see ERIC EC Digest E552).
