Plain-English summary
A dog owner may notice their pet not responding to sounds or commands, which could indicate hearing loss. If you suspect your dog is having trouble hearing, it's important to consult your veterinarian for guidance on recognizing the signs and exploring potential solutions. Options may include communication training to help your dog adapt and, in some cases, the use of hearing aids designed for dogs. Addressing these issues can improve your dog's quality of life and safety.
