Thomas Edison often referred to himself deaf, but that isn't exactly true. He was very hard of hearing though. Edison told a story of being picked up by his ears to keep from falling off of a train, saying at the time he heard something "pop" inside his ears. However, experts seemed to think it was a type of hereditary hearing loss, as both his father and his brother had similar conditions.
