Abstract

The article discusses the evaluation of Boxer dogs in Brazil for inherited deafness and presbycusis using brainstem auditory-evoked potential (BAEP) techniques. Veterinary practice with BAEP for identifying congenital sensorineural hearing loss is noted to establish mean inter-peak latencies in waveforms. Normative data is presented supporting prior findings on the prevalence of unilateral deafness in breeds with white coat pigmentation and periocular patches.
