[nfb-db] Types of hearing loss?

[Cherifields at aol.com]

Trish, sorry to hear that.  Some premies develop later in life, while  
others have life long health issues.  Maybe there is something to  strengthen 
her lungs.
Blessings, Cheri

My  mother is a premie, born 1935.  They don't know how  early she  was.  
My  grandmother didn't look pregnant when she went into  labor.  Mom was only 
2.5 lbs.   She's always had trouble   breathing, gets winded after walking 
a short distance.  She's gotten very  short but that could be age.  And she 
wears 2 hearing aids.  Her  loss came on very  quickly.

Hi, I was also born prematurely. I  have a bone disease called Osteogenesis 
Imperfecta which causes bones to be  britlou I have a mild case of it so I 
do not take any medication or treatment  forit. but hearing rss goes along 
with it. My Mn has told me that I was  fitting with hearing aids when I was a 
baby people I was even walking. A lot  of my family have hearing loss but 
they lost it laarer in life. As of right  now my Moms hearing is worse than 
mine and she's just lost it in the past  cousle of years. My aunt who also 
has the bone disease has also lost most of  her hearing in the past few years. 
I can still hear well enough to communicte  without hearing aids as my 
hearing is mild in my left ear and moderate in my  right. But with my family 
history it could easily get worse but for now it's  been stable.
