The concussion from a bursting...

The concussion from a bursting shell in the First World War split my right eardrum, resulting in complete loss of hearing on that side.

After I came out of the front lines a few weeks late, the accident was reported to a field hospital. The examining doctors advised that there was no medical or surgical treatment they could give. They very kindly told me that the ruptured drum probably would heal, at least partially. Their diagnosis was correct, and upon my discharge, at the close of the war, my service record was marked, "50 percent hearing in right ear."

At that time I knew nothing of Christian Science. A few years later I took up the study of this Science and had a number of healings. But by this time defective hearing had become so much a part of me that it just did not occur to me to apply the healing truths of Christian Science to the condition.
