An estimated 28 million, or 10 percent of the population, experiences some degree of hearing loss. Of those with a hearing loss, 1.5 million are deaf, 1.5 million are late deafened and 25 million are hard of hearing. There is little doubt that everyone knows someone who is deaf or hard of hearing. Coâworkers, neighbors, and family members may have a hearing loss.
The minimal medical costs per year for a dog (meaning his annual check-up and shots) comes out to around $240 on the average. This does not include other common procedures such as dental cleaning or blood tests. A dog with cancer can rack up bills as high as $7,500.
An adult dog will also need at least 2 routine veterinary checkups (between $50 and $100 each) and a dental cleaning (around $150). The dental cleaning is not required during the dogâs first year. Dogs may also require supplements, which can cost up to $50 per year.n adult dog will also need at least 2 routine veterinary checkups (between $50 and $100 each) and a dental cleaning (around $150).
