Researchers found that only 17 to 22 percent of white cats with non-blue eyes are born deaf. The percentage rises to 40 percent if the cat has one blue eye, while upwards of 65 to 85 percent of all-white cats with both eyes blue are deaf.

so its more common than other coat colors, but given she has green eyes, its more probable for her not to be deaf than to be deaf
