The only sure way is by a BAER test, which can be performed by certain vets. It is painless and is basically the same test used to determine if a baby is Deaf. If you want to do some "at-home" tests, they may not be 100% accurate, but can provide a pretty good idea. Wait for your puppy to be away from you and simply call him, use a whistle, or turn on the T.V. If he turns, he is probably not deaf. Another way to tell is wait until he is sleeping and loudly call his name. Be careful with shouting,clapping, or squeaky toys as the puppy can sense the vibrations, even if he is deaf. Also, make sure he doesn't catch your movement out of the corner of his eye, that can make him seem hearing. The important thing to remember is deaf dogs, with patience and training, can learn hand signals and live a very happy healthy life! Good luck!
