That's bad luck.
I was half deaf from a very early age and considered a troublemaker at school because I wouldn't follow instructions and do what I was told. I thought all kids heard the same as me and that I was just stupid not knowing what was going on. Then at some point I learnt to lip read, which I still do. Halfwit teachers should have figured out I was deaf.
