Editing Lou Ferrigno (section)

==Personal life==
Due to [[ear infections]] he had soon after birth, Ferrigno lost 75 to 80% of his hearing and has been using [[hearing aids]] since the age of five.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.audiologyonline.com/interview/interview_detail.asp?interview_id=297|title=Interview with Lou Ferrigno Mr. Universe, and TVs "The Hulk"|publisher=Audiology Online|date=January 17, 2005|access-date=May 13, 2012|first=Doug|last=Beck|archive-date=April 8, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070408072555/http://www.audiologyonline.com/interview/interview_detail.asp?interview_id=297|url-status=live}}</ref> Ferrigno says his [[hearing loss]] helped shape his sense of determination in his youth, saying, "I think that if I wasn't hard of hearing I wouldn't be where I am now. Early on, as a youngster it was difficult, but I'm not ashamed to talk about it because many people have misconceptions about hearing loss; like who has hearing loss and what it's like not to hear, so I do talk about it. I think my hearing loss helped create a determination within me to be all that I can be, and gave me a certain strength of character too. Anytime I do a movie or a TV show, I make them aware of my hearing loss at the beginning, and that makes it much easier for all of us to communicate and get the job done."<ref name=Disaboom/> Later in life, he received a [[cochlear implant]] which restored much of his hearing.<ref name=":0" />

Ferrigno married Susan Groff in 1978, divorcing a year later. On May 3, 1980, he married [[psychotherapist]] Carla Green, who then also began serving as his manager; she later became a personal trainer. They have three children: Shanna<!--Official site name is Shanna: (or Shawns, accounts differ)--> (born 1981), [[Lou Ferrigno Jr.|Louis Jr.]] (born 1984), and Brent (born 1990).
