[5] Research has found a significant association between deafness in dogs and the pigment genes piebald and merle ...

For some kinds of hearing loss the cause may be classified as of unknown cause. [citation needed] There is a progressive loss of ability to hear high frequencies with aging known as presbycusis.

Deafness can occur in white cats with yellow, green or blue irises, although it is mostly likely in white cats with blue irises. [4] In white cats with one blue eye and one eye of a different color (odd-eyed cats), deafness is more likely to affect the ear on the blue-eyed side. [1] Approximately 50% of white cats have one or two blue eyes. [5]
Dementia is a complicated condition, and researchers are still unpacking a lot about its underlying causes. However, there are some things doctors generally agree on when it comes to prevention ...
