美國(guó)華盛頓市一位75歲的老人在兩個(gè)多月前因摔傷導(dǎo)致雙耳聽(tīng)力喪失，而上周二（8月23日）發(fā)生在弗吉尼亞州5.8級(jí)的地震卻讓他的聽(tīng)力奇跡般地恢復(fù)了。據(jù)老人介紹，地震發(fā)生時(shí)，他正在女兒和三個(gè)兒子的陪同下在美國(guó)退伍軍人管理署醫(yī)院看病。強(qiáng)烈的震感將老人從床上甩出，之后搖晃感停止，隨即老人驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)他竟然能夠清楚聽(tīng)到兒子跟自己說(shuō)話的聲音。

醫(yī)生表示，老人患的是傳導(dǎo)性聽(tīng)力損失，主要是由中耳積液以及神經(jīng)損傷引起的。聽(tīng)力恢復(fù)可能是因?yàn)槔先怂玫乃幬锖偷卣鸫龠M(jìn)中耳積液的排除共同作用的結(jié)果。也有醫(yī)生指出，地震中的晃動(dòng)并不能促進(jìn)中耳積液的排出，不過(guò)如果地震過(guò)程中周圍有人尖叫的話，也有可能會(huì)震動(dòng)耳鼓從而讓積液排出。

Valderzak was visiting with his daughter and three sons when the quake rattled D.C.'s Veterans Affairs Hospital, where he is battling cancer.

For Robert Valderzak of Washington, D.C., Tuesday's earthquake was a miracle.

Ever since he fell and fractured his skull on Father's Day, 75-year-old Valderzak had suffered severe hearing loss. But after the 5.8 quake, he could hear everything.

"It was God's blessing," Valderzak told ABCNews.com, his voice shaking with emotion. "It was a miracle for me."

Valderzak was visiting with his daughter and three sons when the quake rattled D.C.'s Veterans Affairs Hospital, where he is battling cancer.

"It shook me terrible -- right out of the bed," said Valderzak. "But after that it stopped. And my son talked to me, and I could hear his voice."

Tests confirmed Valderzak's significant hearing improvement. But his doctors think they have a medical explanation for the "miracle."

"He had conductive hearing loss, caused by fluid in his middle ear, as well as loss due to nerve damage," said Dr. Ross Fletcher, chief of staff at the VA Hospital. "A combination of a drug he was taking and the earthquake event itself likely led to him losing the fluid and gaining back his hearing."

Dr. Jennifer Smullen of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary said the shaking itself might not have been enough to clear the fluid from Valderzak's inner ear.

"But if somebody was startled, and yawned or yelled, sometimes that's enough to clear some fluid out from the ear drum," she said.

In any case, recovering the ability to hear after going months without is a gift.

"People are usually very grateful, very happy, very surprised," said Smullen. "They'll walk around looking at things that they'd forgotten made noise. It's very gratifying."

Valderzak had adjusted to his hearing loss with the help of a special microphone and a crash lesson in lip reading. But the situation was far from ideal.

"The devices helped, but by the time I got them all hooked up, everyone had left and I was talking to myself," he said, adding that lip reading meant he could only talk to one person at a time. But now he can talk to all four of his kids again.

"Why did it happen at that time, with my whole family there? There was God's touch in there," he said.

75-Year-Old Veteran Calls Earthquake a 'Miracle'

Valderzak's doctors had just ordered him new, high-powered hearing aids. Now they're set to the lowest possible volume.

"It's a complete pleasure because the event was unexpected and brought a lot of joy to him and his family," said Fletcher. "This changes his outlook and his family's outlook."

Valderzak has been a patient at the VA Hospital since it opened in 1967.

"It's a pleasure for us to take care of him," said Fletcher. "He called it a miracle, and from his point of view it is. We think we know why it happened but it's still a miracle to him."

Valderzak, a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars, still has a tough fight ahead of him. But the earthquake has given him the boost he needed to take on cancer.

"All these things I've been through to get my hearing back, I've seen plenty of doctors, and none could figure out why I couldn't get it back," he said. "It was a miracle. And now I'm going to beat cancer, too."
