- [Narrator] Thomas Edison.
It's difficult to imagine life
without his
remarkable inventions.
That he developed them
while managing a
significant disability
is even more extraordinary.

"History Honors 250."
Edison's determination didn't
just revolutionize the world.
It also helped him seek out
ways to adapt and thrive,
despite losing much of his
hearing beginning at age 12.
To experience music,
he employed a technique
called bone conduction,
which involved the biting
down on a piano or phonograph
to experience the
vibrations of sound.
But when it came
to his own work,
Edison considered
the silence an asset,
claiming that it allowed him
to concentrate on
experimentation
and research
without distraction.
That focus helped Thomas Edison
forge a legacy of innovation,
including the first
city-wide electrical grid,
and even a motorized pen,
later adapted for tattooing,
that continues to impact
our lives every day.
