Healed from Hearing Loss & Tinnitus
May 31st, 2009
About a month ago i suffred sensorial hearing loss which is hearing loss in the high freqencies.its usually noise induced.i also had a high pitched noise in my ear which is tinnitus and it was loud.it disturbed my sleep and made hearing difficult.it robbed me of my enegry i was depressed and thought that i would be like that for the rest of my life.i was scared couldnt eat,think properly and couldnt wait for death as it would be my comforter.i asked God why me? why now? i was just about to start university and it was an exciting time for me untill my hearing loss and tinnitus showed up.i questioned the value of my life.i actually got the hearing loss from a nite out clubbing and exposure to loud music over time,yes it was my fault and i was foolish to think i would never lose my hearing or damage them.
I felt guilty and was ashamed at my self thinking i was invincble.well i got my worst nitemare it was really ugly.i didnt know what to do. my dad was encouraging and told me to be positive minded always.he too had his share of suffering in life like all christians, i trusted his taughts but doubted if God would even give me a second chance. i prayed for forgiveness for all my past sins and immoral taughts of fornication.i taught my prayers would be answerd many years later guess what? God had better plans.
i started going on the internet for miracle tinnitus cures u name it… ginkgo biloba, herbs, medicines which would be hard to find. i even searched for internet articles on how people lived with tinnitus and hearing loss feeling sorry for myself i did that just to comfort myself and i was not alone. my tinnitus got so bad i actually broke down and cried to the lord with the most painful prayer i had ever prayed.i poured my heart to Christ.The good Lord lead me to Matthew 6:24-34.. No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.
after i read that verse i felt a certain calmness and warmth that assured my life is in the right hands i trusted the lord with all my heart and soul and gave him my troubles. still i was depressed and felt that God will not heal me i continued browsing the net for stories of people who had been healed by God.untill i came across a story of a woman who got healed of facial pains by reading the Word of God and fasting. The lord lead her to fast for 3 days and she won her battle.she was healed even though doctors said there was no cure for her condition but God healed her that comforted me. i thought maybe i should fast i prayed to God and i said i shall fast for 3 days without food but only water i would drink.
My fast was not as easy on the second day i was hungry and weak and thought about how Jesus suffered for my sins.i continued praying for my condition untill my dad noticed that i havent eaten for 2 days.i obyed him when he said he i should eat as the bible tells us honour your parents. maybe thats what God wanted me to do because i was fond of scoffing his wisdom most of the times.which i regretted when i lost my hearing as he always used to warn me about the dangers of losing my hearing. as time went by i started hearing more and my tinnitus was flactuating going and coming. i tuned to TBN to see if God had a message for me,WHICH to my suprise he DID.i dont know the pastor’s name but he started praying for people who needed healing and i prayed with him for God to heal me and deliver me. A MIRACLE HAPPENED i started hearing as time went by i finally got my FULL hearing restored no need for hearing aids. I WAS HEALED HALLEJUAH PRAISE BE TO GOD!! my tinnitus it doesnt bother me anymore its so faint i dont notice it untill i listen out for it. in town,during a conversion i cant hear it i even forget that i had such a ringing that torments people. I WAS BLESSED AND I STILL AM. i pray that people who are suffering with tinnitus and reading this testimony dont get discouraged God still heals and is waiting to heal u. Today im still thankful to God for what he has done. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD GLORY BE TO GOD.AMEN!!!

Hi, I saw this on your site and just had to write to you because I too, have suffered with this for several years. I’ve been to several doctors and no one could explain why I’m loosing my hearing and have tinnitus.In Feb. 2009, I went to a world renown clinic in Memphis Tenn. and was told that I had Meniere’s dis. I had to have a 3 day procedure of fusion into the inner ear with xylocaine/dexamethosine while being put to sleep and I was hopeing that it would help me, but it didn’t.
I went back this past Friday for a check up and was told that my ear pressure in my worse ear was elevated even more and he wanted to do the second procedure of which will be strep/dexamethosone medication with steriods, and he said that it was a good chance that it would relieve the pressure and I might be able to hear more but they can’t give you a guarantee, however many patients have been helped with this procedure. I’m a christian lady and I’ve prayed often for God to heal me and I had a couple of friends who go to church where I do, and her husband had a dream that I’d be healed, so I’ve not given up hope and still pray often, but sometimes with this disease, it really takes a toll on you. I’ve been at a place where I wanted to give up and for the last several days, I felt very hopeless until I read your letter about your personal experience. I just pray that I can also trust more in God’s healing power now and wait for his healing hands to touch me. I just wanted to thank you for having your letter on this site for me to read. Thanks again. M. from Tenn.

Hi there Sobhuza, I just wanted to reply to your comment as in almost all ways your situation is exactly the same as mine. I have had ringing in my ears for 7 months now, it started one morning and has never left me, it tends to come and go nevertheless it still bugs me. There have been many days that I too have thought that one day death is the only thing that would rid me of this problem, but then just as that thought passes my mind I just keep praying to God to heal me, I too have fasted but only for 1 1\2 days because I became very weak and dizzy but tomorrow if its Gods will I plan to fast for 3 days. I really find that while fasting the volume of the ringing in my ears is greatly reduced. I thank God that the ringing is only mild and sometimes very quiet but nevertheless it is still noticiable, and I refuse to get used to it as I have been told so many times, I rebuke this problem and keep my faith that one day, when God is ready I shall be healed. I really encourage all people out there with the same problem to hold in there, all things and I emphasize ALL things are possible through God, I encourage fellow Christians with any condition to join a prayer group where 2 or more agree together it shall be done as the Bible says, and really keep repeating that verse Matthew 18:19 “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven”
Sobhuza, if you return to this site please can you give me your email address I would like to contact you if thats ok.
Regards

Can you please to pray for me all together? I have tinnitus since November 2008 and it is driving me crazy. I am a believer, I have been asking the Lord to heal me, but I don’t understand why the Lord doesn’t answer my pray yet.

I’m exactly I’m your shoes Joel and about the same length of time too. But we as believers must stand after having done everything still stand on your faith. This is where the testing comes. As nasty as this tormenting afliction is we haven’t suffered anything close enough to what Job went through and God heard his prayers and showed his restoring hand. I’m counting days when he answers my prayers and with sn atttitude of expectation.
Thanks,
Ray

Hi, I have had meniere disease + tinnitus for the last 9 years. Once had such perfect hearing but now I have lost 90% of it on right side and my hearing fluctuates on the left side. the condition is so depressing and have praying and trusting God for total healing and restoration of my hearing. Our God is faithful and might and He indeed heals. I can testify of this as he blessed my husband and I with a beautiful baby girl after 5years of being childless. am on a 21 day fast for my healing right now and I will come back and tell you of how God has healed me. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us all who are going through this trying time. Trust in Him always.
