There is no specific animal that is deaf, but some animals hear differently than humans do. For instance whales and dolphins communicate with each other via sound waves and although they do have ears that are little holes on the sides of their heads and can hear a human voice this is not the main way that they "hear" sound. Some times an animal can be born deaf. This can happen to any animal just like it can happen to humans. Deafness can be caused from a birth defect and therefore the baby animal or human is born deaf or maybe an accident or illeness happens later in life causing deafness. Albino animals are known for being born deaf more often that regular animal. Albino means there is no color or pigment in the color cells and makes the animal completely white. They usually have blue or red eyes. This happens very often in rats and mice, but can also occur in dogs and cats and other animals. One example of an albino dog are certain dalmatians that are born totally white without black spots and for some reason these dalmatians are almost always born deaf.

Some deaf animals also have albinism, meaning that they lack normal melanin pigment in their eyes, nose, or skin, though not every albino animal is deaf.
