How was the deafness of Evelyn detected for the first time? When was it confirmed?
Answers
when Evelyn was 8 year old, her mother called her when she was playing piano but she did not respond to it. that's when her parents found Evelyn was growing deaf. till she was 11 year old they concealed her growing deafness. t the age of 11 her teachers found her deafness and the headmistress urged Evelyn's parents to take her to a specialist.
Evelyn was waiting to play the piano once. She was waiting for her name to be called somebody called her name but she did not move at all. With this no response it was probably that her hearing ability had been impaired. That gave a hint of abnormality for the first time. Anyways she was able to concerl her deafness somehow. But, it was evident that the impairment would not be suppressed for long. When she was eleven, her marks began to deteriorate and, on the urge of her headmistress, her parents took her to a specialist and then only was it confirmed that, due to gradual nerve damage, she wouldn't be able to hear anymore.
