Hearing clearly again
A few years ago, I was alarmed to find that my hearing was becoming very weak. It had declined to the point where I could hardly communicate with co-workers at my day job, with students in evening English classes I taught, and with children and their parents in my afternoon guitar lessons. I was pretty well convinced that excessive ear wax was to blame, and used a solution to clean out my ears. But after several weeks of this, the situation grew worse.
Although I’d been a Christian Scientist for seven or more years, my first recourse wasn’t prayer or calling a Christian Science practitioner for help.
When co-workers and students asked about my hearing, I admitted that I was having difficulty but said things would soon improve. I realized I could get by this way only for a limited time. My wife encouraged me to decide between relying on Christian Science and pursuing medical help, so I finally called a Christian Science practitioner. This was the turning point.
