Some even believed of the conductor boxing his ears which claimed to be true. Edison claimed himself that he was grabbed by his ears and lifted to a train. He got deaf in one ear and 80% in the other.
When Edison was 14, he contracted scarlet fever. The effect of the fever, as well as a blow to the head by an angry train conductor, caused Edison to become completely deaf in his left ear, and 80 percent deaf in the other.
