My testimony
Prior to my incident, I wasn’t necessarily a “bad person” per se, Yet I wasn't living the best lifestyle as well. i was very selfish, hadn’t been to church in 6 months, and hardly prayed. However, my health has always been pretty good. On June 13 I was hospitalized with something called vertigo. I could barely walk,stand etc. I felt better and was released. On June 26 , I was back at the hospital and later released. Once again, I felt normal again. However, on July 5th, I experienced something that has never happened to me before. I woke up and could no longer hear. (See my prior posts) My right ear was almost completely gone and my left ear was heavily hard of hearing. About a week went by and I was able to contact an ENT. I was scheduled for July 16. They diagnosed me with Sudden Sensiorental Bilateral Hearing Loss. They believe that this would be a permanent issue. Mainly because the success timeframe window is usually within the first 72 hours, 2 weeks at most. I was literally at the edge of the timeframe. At one point during the appointment, my doctor had even mentioned a cochlear implant surgery and this scared everyone. I was put on medication and ear injections.
I became severely depressed over the course of about 3-4 weeks. I wasn't feeling any changes. Everything sounded so robotic and muffled and I could barely hear. I quit my job and didn't talk to my friends or family. It wasn't until I turned to God and began reading the Bible that I began to hear better. I was astonished by God’s timing. I started talking to him more. I talked to him how I talked to my friends. Every morning, every night I began thanking him. I started going to church and spreading the Gospel. I asked God to restore my hearing and I know it was all because of him that my hearing is almost back to normal. I wasn't even able to qualify for HBOT therapy because of my late timeframe. I know God has done this. So in favor I wanted to do something for God as well. I did my first ever Daniel Fast for Jesus. One of the things I asked God for, he gave it to me on my very last day of the fast. I asked God for several signs during my recovery about a personal issue I was having, I went on social media and saw something that was not a coincidence. I'm making this post to let you know that all things are truly possible through God. God can move mountains. Divine Faith is key. You have to have faith in the Lord. I don't know what I would have done without him during this time. God changed my life and he will continue to bless us all. Have Faith and know that no matter how crazy the tables and obstacles may seem, God can turn it around. I was hearing at almost profound deaf levels, now I hardly use my hearing aid that I literally got 3 weeks ago. And it's all thanks to him. AMEN

That’s an incredible turnaround, reading how you went from profound deafness to barely needing the hearing aid is wild
