When I was a child I received a blow that resulted in a broken eardrum and loss of hearing. I was told I would have to live with it, and I never did anything about it until I became a student of Christian Science.

During class instruction I learned that God is All-in-all, and man is His image and likeness, perfect, complete, and spiritual. I worked with Proverbs (20:12): "The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them." Also this statement in the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p. 486): "Sight, hearing, all the spiritual senses of man, are eternal. They cannot be lost. Their reality and immortality are in Spirit and understanding, not in matter,—hence their permanence." These were helpful in convincing me that hearing was not lost for me.

As a member of a branch church I attended church services, at times without hearing the testimonies given or all the readings from the desk. This did not keep me from regular attendance. As my spiritual understanding grew through consecrated study, normal hearing slowly returned, until it was completely restored.
