Description: Article about Thomas Edison's hearing loss.
Thomas Edison - Hearing Impaired Inventor Thomas Alva Edison People - Thomas Alva Edison - Hearing Impaired Inventor One of the most famous people with hearing loss in history is the inventor Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931). What many people are not aware of, is the fact that Edison had had hearing problems from childhood on. This hearing loss caused him some difficulty in school. In addition, he reportedly lost more of his hearing, becoming technically deaf, in his early teens. The cause is not definitely known - it could have been a result of early childhood illness or the result of a "boxing" of his ears by a rail conductor, possibly a myth.
