Several years ago I was suffering from a loss of hearing in both of my ears. It began in one ear and then the other ear over a period of a couple of months. It hampered communication at home, at church, and in my other activities.
I prayed with Mary Baker Eddy’s metaphysical definition of ears in the Glossary of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: “Not organs of the so-called corporeal senses, but spiritual understanding.
“Jesus said, referring to spiritual perception, ‘Having ears, hear ye not?’ (Mark viii. 18.)” (p. 585).
