my best friend have deaf genes and her sister have the 26 genes too..so yes its heredity..
I KNOW there is a Deaf gene but dont understand why he/she thinks there is NO deaf gene *rolling eyes* I know so many Deaf families and even my own doctor said that since my mother had 2 Deaf children out of 4 children is related to Deaf gene - and now my brother has a Deaf daughter. It is clear that the males in our family carry that Deaf gene as I have two hearing daughters.
i asked a biology teacher today, and he said that there are several hearing genes. one of them gets mutated and thats how one becomes deaf. there is no deaf gene. just a mutated hearing gene.I KNOW there is a Deaf gene but dont understand why he/she thinks there is NO deaf gene *rolling eyes* I know so many Deaf families and even my own doctor said that since my mother had 2 Deaf children out of 4 children is related to Deaf gene - and now my brother has a Deaf daughter.

he is a high school teacher that knows his stuff. now if you want me to get someone who looks up like a million resources just to get the facts then i will cause she is like the Queen of resources and kind prove or disprove anything. but the biology teacher does know his stuff. why else would he be a biology teacher?is the human DNA fully understood and figured out? have science figured out every single gene? the last time I stepped a foot in a high school biology class was a couple of years ago and yes science has made so many advances so I'm curious if your biology teacher is a high school teacher or a professor from a college? It does make an difference on how valid your argument is ^_^
