POSTED: 5:56 p.m. EST April 3, 2002
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Evangelist Billy Graham has lost his hearing, the preacher's daughter said Wednesday.
"He's doing very well, although I'd say in the last month he's just gone totally deaf," Anne Graham Lotz told WNOX radio in Knoxville, Tenn.
Graham, 83, was receiving outpatient treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Wednesday for recurring bouts of lung and sinus infections, said hospital spokesman Eric Kaldor.
Kaldor said Graham was not being treated at Mayo for any hearing difficulty.
Graham's son, Franklin Graham, had said Tuesday his father went to the Mayo Clinic for a regular checkup.
The younger Graham, of Charlotte, N.C., also reported that his mother, Ruth, 81, frail and homebound, has fallen and broken her pelvis.
