I had to spell in front of one of my Golden Retrievers. When she became deaf in her later years, she taught herself sign language. We didn’t even realize that she was deaf. One of my neighbors pointed it out to me.

My red Heeler was stone deaf at about 11 years. No matter though because she knew my routines and her duties brilliantly. She was also a lip reader.

My Irish Setter will get funky ears once in awhile. I don't care what words you say around it or the tone or inflection in your voice. No matter how you try to fool her, when she hears the word medicine, she puts her head down and heads for the back of her cage.
If you talk about her ears bothering her, she again leaves. BUT when you ask her other things about her ears, like if she wants them rubbed, she comes near.
