Question
can a dog go deaf? if so is their anything possible to help?

Answer
Some dogs are born deaf (usually those with excessive amounts of white coloring such as Dalmatians and white Bull Terriers). Others can go deaf from physical reasons such as massive untreated ear infections, etc., while others go deaf in old age. I am not aware of anything that can help a deaf dog to regain its hearing.
