The genetics of deafness in domestic animals
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2015 Although deafness can be acquired throughout an animal’s life from a variety of causes, hereditary deafness, especially congenital hereditary deafness, is a significant problem in several species.

Language, thought and deafness : conceptual and methodological issues, with reference to visual-spatial processing, control of attention and sign language [PDF]
, 1990 A review of the literature indicated that a reappraisal of the conceptual and methodological approach to the study of deafness was necessary if research is to explain why deaf children fail to achieve the scholastic potential predicted by I. Q. tests.

Genomic Landscape and Mutational Signatures of Deafness-Associated Genes
American Journal of Human Genetics, 2018 The classification of genetic variants represents a major challenge in the post-genome era by virtue of their extraordinary number and the complexities associated with ascribing a clinical impact, especially for disorders exhibiting exceptional ...

To Deaf or not to deaf: That is the Question [PDF]
Psychology, 2019 Names are both personal and political, as they relate to identity. Woodward’s 1975 etic article first mentioned a naming convention for D/deaf and prominent scholars have debated the issue since. To evaluate current preferences, the research team used an online questionnaire to gather emic insights and opinions from the community, as well as a more ...
