Oh yes they are. They need special, firm training unlike other dogs. Most places teach "sign language" to the owners, and the owners teach the dogs using sign language. A dog at our shelter is deaf, and was abandoned there, simply because the owners couldn't handle it.

Owning a deaf dog is a big resposibility, but I bet it's quite rewarding once you get the hang of it.
