Deafness in Spotted Robos?

[artgecko]

Have any of you ever noticed your spotted robos being hard of hearing or completely deaf?
We picked up a new Robo last weekend.. The first spotted one I've seen for sale in this area. It seems to be doing fine, but doesn't respond to noises near it's tank like my other robos do. It seems to ignore all sounds, even if something very loud happens near by.

I'd love any feedback you guys have on this. I thought it could be deafness because in other animals with the white spotting gene, if there is not pigment on / near the ears you can get deafness. This little guy has white ears and no pigment around them.

Like white cats with blue eyes?

Yeah.. or dalmatian dogs or "white" boxers, etc.

My robo is spotted and is completely deaf as well!

Huh, curiouser and curiouser.
Any one else "heard" this one?

When you say "spotted" do you mean pied or head spot?
