The same thing happened to me and my two brothers: we needed eyeglasses and our eyes just kept getting worse. We were filled with mercury fillings starting at the age of about 9 or 10. My sister in law has lost about 70% of her hearing, she is now 63. I didn't understand why; she weras two hearing aids. One day when i was talking to her she opened her mouth widely while laughing and i was shocked to see how all of her molars were full of silver/mercury amalgams. I didn't wonder anymore why she lost her hearing. She has no history of lost hearing in her family. Now this is not scientific what I am saying hear. But I think I may be right.
