Thomas Edison had a learning difficulty. He was a very slow learner and sluggish student who found it very hard to concentrate. He also seemed to be confused a lot.

At the age of 12 he lost his hearing and became deaf.

However when he became deaf, his concentration massively improved as there were less sound distractions around him. He went on to become one of the world's greatest scientists and inventors.

Thomas Edison struggled with hearing difficulties and was considered a poor student by his teachers. He was homeschooled by his mother due to these challenges, which influenced his later invention of the phonograph. Despite facing obstacles, Edison's curiosity and determination propelled him to become one of the greatest inventors in history.
