:12:07
I said: Did you say something?
:12:10
Yes, but you don't answer.
:12:17
I said I hadn't heard anything.
:12:21
We were very frightened.
:12:25
My deafness was very strange.
:12:28
First it was the right ear...
:12:31
and then the left one.
:12:34
I wanted to see a doctor...
:12:36
I took foot-baths, I prayed...
:12:43
but it wasn't any use.
:12:45
Gradually I lost my hearing...
:12:51
up to a rest of 5%.
:12:54
I fled to religion.
:12:59
It gave me strength...
:13:02
but this terrible Ioneliness
stayed on.
:13:08
People promised to visit me...
:13:12
but they didn't come.
:13:15
And when they came,
they talked to my mother...
:13:21
and I stayed in my silent world.
:13:24
And when I talked,
my mother hit me lightly...
:13:30
and said she'd tell me later.
:13:34
I wanted to participate.
:13:39
How long did you stay in bed?
:13:49
Nearly 30 years.
:13:51
I always tried to get up.
:13:55
Sometimes
I couldn't move at all.
