[nfb-db] Types of hearing loss?

[Gerardo Corripio]

  HI guys
I've been wondering year after year my case for instance: I was born 
premature 28 weeks, thus as far as my family remembers, and Ikind of 
remember also, I was able to hear OK, but between the ages of 5-8 I kind 
of lost hearing, thus when I was eight, I was fitted with my first 
hearing aids. I didn't realize how much hearing loss (70%) until the 
first day I took off my hearing aids to give my ears a rest, when all of 
a sudden I was in a world of silence! Wow! For a moment I was scared 
maybe I'd lost my hearing only during the few hours I was with the 
hearing aids, but maybe all along it has been so, and I never realized? 
My Vi teacher (I was in the US some time) worried I might become deaf, 
thus taught me Braille at an accelerated pace thus still practice 
especially for my Psychology online program in which I Braille the 
outline of the topic I'm discussing and read it off.
So my question is, might it be true what my Mom says that my hearing 
loss was due to an ear infection maltreated, or those who are born 
premature, have a tendency to loos hearing between the ages of 5-8 like 
myself?
