<DIV>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.</DIV>

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.<BR><BR>Trish<BR><BR>-----Original

Re: [nfb-db] Types of hearing loss?<BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>Sent from my iPhone<BR><BR>> On Mar 21,

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