==Early life==
Bower's deafness started with complications at birth which could have been fatal, but was not diagnosed until he was five years old. From that age he wore body hearing aids, bulky transistor radio-style devices. He later attended the Mary Hare Grammar School near his home in Berkshire. Although supported by a very caring family, Bower found himself bullied by both hearing children and other deaf children. In 1986, after attending a loud rock music gig he developed tinnitus which affected the nature of his residual hearing. His deafness progressed and years later he became profoundly deaf.〔''Coming Home'', interview with David Bower in Connect Magazine, Spring 2012, published by NDCS.〕
