How can I determine why my 12 year old black lab has seemingly lost a lot of her hearing all of a sudden is that common with old age or could it be something else?
I would suggest taking your dog to your veterinarian. It is possible that your Lab has been losing his hearing for quite some time but you just recently noticed it - dogs can have hearing loss due to exposure to loud noises (such as hanging their heads out the window while riding in a car). It could also be due to chronic ear infections. The less common, but more serious, reasons would include cancer in the ear canal or the skull, a congenital defect that is just now manifesting or a foreign body trapped in the ear canal.
