I did not develop my ear. I discovered I had an ear, and it was an accident.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was born deaf, and I gained my hearing back when I was six months old - it was a miraculous event.
In 1967, I found out I was losing my hearing. I went 10 years without any help. I had otosclerosis - hardening of the bone in the middle of the ear.
I have a pretty good ear.
I was actually tone deaf until I had tumors in my ears - I had very small ear canals - removed. Once they fixed that, I was actually able to sing in a pleasant manner.
I never developed hard cartilage in my ears because I played with them since I was a baby. I can fold my ear entirely inside out, and I can put the whole thing inside itself.
Close to birth... I lost, like, 80 percent of my hearing, and I had difficulty speaking.
When I was young, my mother would not let me get my ears pierced because I used to get into too many fights.
When I was young I knew I was deaf. I couldn't accept it.
I was born deaf. Sound never existed in my life, and this is completely normal to me.
I didn't even have pierced ears. They put four holes in each ear, and, weirdly, that hurt the most.
