([Mary:] “Then you...then I take it you would not suggest an operation?)
[... 16 paragraphs ...]
Your ears, your hearing, will improve when you realize that the cause is an inner one and when you bring the problem out into the open, and when you use certain techniques that are simply aids. If you do this, you can improve without an operation.
[... 1 paragraph ...]
If you do not do this, you will not improve even if you have the operation. Now, I am not saying that the operation may not temporarily help. But without changing your attitude, it will not help to any degree that will compensate you. But the decision, you see...

[... 5 paragraphs ...]
([Mary:] “Yeah. I just didn’t know what to tell the doctor. ‘Cause he might want a statement of when I would get an operation, and I don’t—I haven’t made up my mind if I want one or not, yet.”)
[... 3 paragraphs ...]
([Mary:] “Because I want to try to heal it without an operation.”
