title: Deafness in the dog and cat.
abstract: Deafness in dogs and cats can be divided into two major categories: (1) conduction deafness and (2) sensorineural deafness. History and otic examination will often provide a diagnosis. Electrodiagnostic testing will confirm the deafness and further elucidate the specific cause. Therapy depends on the cause of the deafness and extent of involvement.
