What are some of the causes of deafness in dogs? There are alot of reasons a dog could be showing signs of deafness. One of the first things needed is to make sure that the dog is suffering from deafness, and your vet would need to do that. That would involve cleaning, and giving the ears a full exam to make sure they were not infected or impacted. That could contribute to your dog having major trouble hearing. Please don't try to clean your dogs ears yourself, it is a very delicate and sentive area! Much damage can be done if handled imporperly, and you need them checked for infection. If no signs of trouble are in the ear. Then your vet can test his hearing to make sure that he is indeed deaf. That is a simple test. Also, age is a major factor in all your dogs abilities, and hearing is near the top of that list. Depending on the dog's age, this might just be another step along the road of your lives together. I start teaching all my dogs, and believe it or not cats too, a bit of sign commands I've made up over the years, when they have learned the word commands and have a good grasp and understanding of what is expected of them. I have raised, and gone through the life cycle of enough to have learned that the body begins to fails, but not their heart, or desire to please. So, I try to make the transion as easy as possible and the use of the hand signals is one of those simple things. They get used to seeing the signals with the words and eventually don't need the words to back up the signals. It takes a little work, but it is well worth the effort. The only other thing I know of for certain (it happened to one of mine). Is that if you give Buffered Aspirin on a long term bases, recommended by your vet only. That this can be a side effect of the long term use, not short term. But, my vet explained that with the long term use, some dogs are effected this way and others are not. But that it can happen. So, that is something to be considered and discussed with your vet., if they recommened long term Buffered Aspirin for your Dog. There are probably other factors, but these are the ones I have direct experience with.
what are the cause of partial deafness
There are three bones in the middle ear. These are the malleus, incus, and stapes. Disturbance of any of these three bones causes bone deafness.

Complete lack of hearing is called deafness. Various causes of deafness are defined by specific medical conditions (e.g. presbycusis - old age hearing loss). The term for less than complete deafness is "hearing impairment".
Tone deafness seems to be mostly hereditary and is more of a difficulty distinguishing between pitches inside the brain than a deafness that causes you to not be able to hear.
Some possible causes of partial deafness include prolonged exposure to loud or constant noise, disease and injury.

Deafness is an etiologically heterogeneous trait with many known genetic and environmental causes. Genetic factors account for at least half of all cases of profound congenital deafness, and can be classified by the mode of inheritance and the presence or absence of characteristic clinical features that may permit the diagnosis of a specific form of syndromic deafness. The identification of more than 120 independent genes for deafness has provided profound new insights into the pathophysiology of hearing, as well as many unexpected surprises. Although a large number of genes can clearly cause deafness, recessive mutations at a single locus, GJB2 or Connexin 26, account for more than half of all genetic cases in some, but not all populations.

Yes, some deafness is heriditary while some deafness is not.
