The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him．Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning．However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock．
