Im curious if having a hearing loss can contribute to disassociation or it can be the sole cause of it? I can find any information on it....just wondering if anyone had any helfpul information

I had hearing problems when I was little, right around when I started preschool. I got in trouble a lot and I didn't know why but it turned out it was because I couldn't hear what the teachers and my parents were telling me, so I didn't know to follow directions. I had an operation and I can usually hear okay now but I think it did contribute to my DID to some extent. Not being able to hear in the formative years is a big deal, especially if no one realizes you can't hear or doesn't give you more direct attention.
