Agent Orange and deafness?


I am trying to find information on the effects of Agent Orange. Does anybody know any website, information, or article on about if deafness could have been one of the causes from the Agent Orange while that chemical was being used during the Vietnam War? (affected Vetrans' children only) Thanks!

I had personally visited the Vietnam Friendship Village just outside of Hanoi, where children affected by dioxin stay and learn skills to be productive in their society. What I had seen is beyond words to accurately describe.

Dioxin appears to be inheritable and has even jumped generations. I have seen children with severe mental and physical disorders. As for deafness, does being born without ears count? I had seen one child like that.

There are dozens of Web sites with information on effects of dioxin, but I have not seen any information online that depicts the horrific things I seen with my own eyes in Vietnam. Perhaps you can obtain the real truth by contacting the Vietnam Friendship Village yourself, and hear their stories first hand. Following is their Web site:

go to pesticide history

My son was born with birth defects. My father and my husbands father were both exposed to agent orange, so I asked the genetisis would it have affects on any offspring. Like my sis in law cannot have children. My husband and I had a hard time conceiving and I miscarried the first and then the secound child was born with defects. She says that it should not affect the offspring of the offspring, but she said that agent orange was bad news and can affect the offspring of the person affected. Problems with being sterle could be what is wrong with his sister but not him. She is quite certain my son has genetic problems and nothing more.

I am sorry that i am not much help, but when I was doing my research, I found that there was little research done on Agent Orange, and what little document they got is circumstancial and is not full proof. But keep looking.
