I am REALLY white (not albino, but my skin is almost as white, I’m not kidding you) and I have blue eyes, and I am having hearing loss at 14 years old. I heard that in animals like cats that if they are white with blue eyes, their chances of being deaf skyrocket. So, I want to know: Does this apply to humans too? What about albino people? Is there chances of being deaf increased, too?
