[nfb-db] Types of hearing loss?

[Cherifields at aol.com]

Hi Gerardo, there is no real way to know for certain.   Premature babies 
usually have a lot of health conditions from not fully being  developed.  On 
the other hand if you have parents who are carriers of  genetic conditions, 
you could have inherited it.  Infections do cause  hearing loss, but they 
probably would have occurred at the time of the infection  and not years later. 
 There are a lot of genetic hearing loss problems that  occur around 
puberty.
Blessings,
Cheri

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?
