Thier are many storys about how he became deaf. One of those storys includes that Thomas Edison was deaf because the conducter of the train he worked on pulled him onto the train by his ears when he almost missed the traiin. However Experts say this is doubtful as his father and son had similar hearing problems and i probally just just a family illness.
