British boxer James Burke was deaf since he was an infant, so it can be assumed that he was born without hearing.
He was pronounced deaf from infancy.
James 'Deaf' Burke was a British boxer and the first to fight on American soil. After returning to England Burke did not win any fights and died of tuberculosis as a penniless indigent.
I know it was in 1809 but that is it. Sorry

no I don't think so however you can go deaf if people punch you dead hard in the ear.
James 'Deaf' Burke was one of England's earliest boxing champions. He was tried for murder after one of his opponent's died from the beating that Burke gave him. After that he found it difficult to find matches and wound up travelling to America to fight. He passed away at the age of 36 from tuberculosis (1809-1845). He was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992. Click on the 'James Burke' link on this page to read more about him.
Louisiana School for the Deaf was created on 1852-12-08.
It is unlikely for a deaf person to attend a school specifically for the blind, as these schools typically cater to students with visual impairments. Deaf individuals would benefit more from schools or programs designed for individuals with hearing impairments.
No he is not deaf
He seems to have attended only special schools for the deaf. He mentions in one biographical sketch that he spent only three months in a public school; he identifies his alma mater as Lexington School for the Deaf. A graduate of Gallaudet University, he never attended a school with a population that was not entirely comprised of deaf students till he pursued, and achieved, his law degree at Hofstra University.
The motto of Louisiana School for the Deaf is 'What was that?'.
