You are the first one here on CF to ask me how I became deaf. It was really traumatic for me but I have already moved on. I have moved on because of: (1) When my mum enrolled me in a SpEd school, I saw deaf students -- since birth they are deaf. But me, God still gave me a chance to hear the noise, the loud sounds, the melody, each note in the piano and to hear my voice and my family's voices for 10 years. (2) God has purpose why I have been like this; and (3) I should move on or else I will see my mum and dad crying because of what happened to me everyday.
It is now my chance to tell how I became deaf.
I honestly do not know the scientific reasons or even explanations to my condition. But it all happened because of an accident.
There was a Church concert in the old place that I lived in. I was 10 years old. I asked my brother (who was actually 18 years old) to drive me there since I am part of the event -- I was the pianist and part of the singing group. So, we borrowed dad's car. And we really needed to drive soo fast. Then the only thing that I can remember was the loud crack and bang!
My brother got a mild wiplash. But he easily recovered after a year and a half. Mum told me that my brother hugged me to protect me from that accident that's why he got that injury. (That's why I so much love my brother - I owe him my life). And mum also added, without my brother protecting me, I might be in Heaven now.
I have undergone two surgeries before and it was too expensive. I do not know what happened to my eardrums. And I told my dad to not set me in another surgery since I saw them how they work hard for me to hear. I told my parents that I am all fine with my condition. Everything is normal except of my hearing sense. I got friends who are completely have senses.
I felt how God works throughout my life and my family's life. That's why I am thanking Him without doubts. Instead blaming God for what happened to me, I am thanking Him and loving Him for this wonderful plans for me.
