Healing from Tinnitus
In March 2021, I came down with tinnitus. It first started with a loud bang in my ears, like drums. I had thought that it was something to overlook until it became serious. Brother Michael, who was my shepherd, prayed for me one of those times and it stopped, only for it to return about a week later.
The tinnitus was in my right ear; the noise grew from the drum sound to buzzing sounds – the pains became unbearable, especially the right half of my face. Since the ear is responsible for equilibrium too, I experienced vertigo most of the time. I always had an earphone on, especially when it was time to go to bed. At a point, the noise grew louder than the music I played.
For the records, I am not one who likes loud sounds; the only reason why I wear earphones most times is to reduce the sounds from my environment, not because I am listening to anything, so having tinnitus was a torture for me. It is not something I wish anyone should have. There were days I could not go to school because half of my face was in pain.
Then, sometime in June 2022, I had a meeting with my pastor; and, after the meeting, he asked if I had anything that was bothering me. I told him that I did not. I had totally forgotten that I had tinnitus. I had learnt to live with the pain – a skill I had acquired over the years. Pastor asked if I was sure and I responded in the positive. It was not until I was about to leave that I remembered; so, I immediately turned and said, “Sir, I have tinnitus!”
It was like I discovered something new. He looked at me in awe so I narrated what had been my predicament for more than a year, after which pastor prayed for me.
I did not know that I had been healed until a month later when I was speaking with one of the leaders, Sister Bright. I told her how I felt this peace in my mind. Then, I paused and nearly screamed – the tinnitus was gone and I did not even notice! I narrated what had happened and we both gave thanks.
