I was 5 years old when we discovered I had lost my hearing. The school was conducting its annual hearing and vision screening. The school was conducting its annual hearing and vision screening and they discovered my hearing loss in my left ear. We had no idea that my left ear could not hear. I had never displayed any distress of not being able to hear. How could this happen? Perhaps it was Rubella my Mom had when I was pregnant with me. Maybe, it was Scarlet Fever that I had when I was little? Hmmm MAYBE it was the smallpox shot I had and reacted to, but that was a bit more recent.
