artschultz commented on the word beal
My mother-in-law, born in West Virginia in 1935, was told by her mother that the reason for her hearing loss was that she had a "bealed ear." This evidently was a term used in Appalachia at that time to indicate the suppurating result of a middle ear infection with ruptured eardrum.
