How do we know that God opens spiritual ears and eyes?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states that only God can open the spiritual ears and eyes of individuals through His sovereign grace (Ephesians 1:18, Psalm 119:18).

The opening of spiritual ears and eyes is entirely a work of God, as emphasized in several scriptures. In Ephesians 1:18, Paul prays that God will enlighten the eyes of the believers' hearts to understand His hope and the glory of their inheritance. Similarly, Psalm 119:18 expresses a prayer for God to open the eyes to behold the wondrous truths in His law. These passages underline that spiritual insight and understanding do not arise from human effort or reasoning but rather from God's sovereign grace acting upon the individual. Thus, the capacity to understand spiritual truths is a divine gift.
